When winter sets in, a warm, filling meal becomes more than comfort food, it becomes a necessity. At True Grit Buffalo Ranch, we’re proud to offer premium, ranch-raised bison that takes cold-weather cooking to a whole new level. This Hearty Winter Bison Stew is the perfect example: tender bison, earthy root vegetables, and rich broth come together to create a cosy, nutrient-packed dish that keeps the cold at bay.
2 lbs bison stew meat
2 tbsp oil (canola or avocado)
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 carrots, chopped
3 potatoes, cubed
2 parsnips, chopped
2 cups beef or bison broth
1 cup red wine (optional)
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown the bison on all sides.
Add onion and garlic, cooking until softened.
Stir in tomato paste, thyme, and rosemary.
Add carrots, potatoes, parsnips, broth, and wine (if using).
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1.5–2 hours, until the bison is tender and the stew has thickened.
Season with salt and pepper, serve warm, and enjoy
Bison’s naturally lean, rich flavour pairs beautifully with hearty root vegetables. Slow simmering allows the meat to become tender while infusing the broth with deep, comforting flavours, exactly what you need on chilly prairie nights.
