Bison Brisket

Slow-Cooked Holiday Bison Brisket with red wine and rosemary. The perfect dish for the holidays! It’s tender, full of flavour, and sure to impress guests.

Ingredients

3-4 lbs bison brisket
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups red wine (dry variety like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot)
1 cup beef or bison broth
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes

2 tbsp tomato paste
4 sprigs fresh rosemary (or 1 tbsp dried rosemary)
3 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
Onions
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 large carrots, sliced
2 celery stalks, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Season and Sear the Brisket: Generously season the bison brisket with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until nicely browned. Remove the brisket and set aside.
Step 2

Cook the Aromatics: In the same pot, add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Step 3

Deglaze with Red Wine: Pour in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes, reducing slightly.
Step 4

Add Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the broth, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, and balsamic vinegar. Add the carrots and celery.
Step 5

Combine and Slow Cook: Place the seared brisket back into the pot, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Cover with a tight-fitting lid.
Step 6

Cook in the Oven: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the covered pot in the oven and cook for 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork. Bison can be leaner than beef, so check around 3 hours for doneness.
Step 7

Rest and Serve: Once the brisket is done, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve with the vegetables and the rich sauce from the pot. Serving Suggestions:

Pair the brisket with holiday sides like roasted potatoes, green beans, or a winter salad!
