Bison Bourguignon

Ingredients 

  • 4 thick slices double-smoked bacon, chopped
  • 2 lb bison chuck (such as cross-rib or brisket), cut into 1 inch chucks and patted dry
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 medium yellow onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minched
  • 3 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 8 oz white button mushrooms, trimmed and halved
  • 1 bouquet garni (1 sprig fresh rosemary, 3 sprigs fresh thyme, and 2 bay leaves tied with kitchen twine)
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (25.4 oz) bottle red burgundy or pinot noir 

*Makes 6 to 8 servings

How to Make It

  In a large pot over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crisp, about 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon. Add the bison to the pot with the bacon fat in a single layer (or in batches if necessary). Sprinkle  with flour. Cook until well browned all over, about 8 minutes. Add the onions and garlic. Cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes. Add the carrots, mushrooms,and bouquet garni. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the wine and bacon.

  Bring to a boil over high heat, and then reduce the heat to medium or medium-low and cover. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender, about 3 to 4 hours.
