Bison Short Rib

Mashed Potatoes

Gremolata

Method

Bison Short Rib Preparation

  1. 1

    Sear the Bison

    In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season bison short ribs with salt and pepper, then sear on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Braise the Bison

    Return the bison to the pot. Add red wine, beef broth, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to low. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours until the meat is tender.

Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a large pot, cover the cubed potatoes with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 5

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Gremolata Preparation

  1. 6

    Mix the Gremolata

    In a small bowl, combine chopped parsley, lemon zest, and minced garlic. Mix well and set aside.
