Coffee Spice Rub

Bison Short Ribs

Crispy Potato Cake

Roasted Carrots

Huckle-Blackberry Demi Glacé

Method

Coffee Spice Rub

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee Spice Rub

    In a small bowl, mix together ground coffee, brown sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Bison Short Ribs

  1. 2

    Season the Ribs

    Rub the coffee spice mixture all over the bison short ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.

  2. 3

    Sear the Ribs

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated bison short ribs and sear on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  3. 4

    Braise the Ribs

    Add the beef broth to the skillet, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Let the ribs braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until tender.

Crispy Potato Cake

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and grate the russet potatoes. Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch, then squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 6

    Cook the Potato Cake

    In a frying pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the grated potatoes and press them down to form a cake. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side until crispy.

  3. 7

    Season

    Season the potato cake with salt, black pepper, and garnish with fresh chives before serving.

Roasted Carrots

  1. 8

    Prepare the Carrots

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and trim the carrots, then cut them in half lengthwise.

  2. 9

    Roast the Carrots

    Toss the carrots with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and caramelized.

Huckle-Blackberry Demi Glacé

  1. 10

    Prepare the Demi Glacé

    In a saucepan, combine huckleberries, blackberries, red wine, and beef broth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and reduce until thickened, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 11

    Finish the Sauce

    Remove from heat and whisk in butter until melted and the sauce is glossy. Strain if desired and keep warm until serving.
