Bison Shoulder Roast



Well ladies and gentlemen, we're almost through the holiday season. You may need a little "cleanse" or just a break from overly sweet, decadent treats. This recipe is not only easy but really healthy. Bison is a very lean source of protein. You can add any vegetables to change up the flavor but I chose classic "roast" veggies. To give the meal a little extra antioxidant/veggie power, I served mine over a bed of kale. It was delicious and very satisfying! 
Bison Shoulder Roast

-2 lb. bison shoulder
-2 small bags of mini potatoes (~4 cups)
-1/2 large bag of baby carrots
-1/2 large yellow onion, diced
-2 sprigs rosemary
-1 T EVOO
-salt/pepper to taste
-1 T parsley
-1 T garlic
-1 T ground pepper flakes
-1 box (4 cups) low sodium beef broth

1. Trim any fat off meat. Sprinkle salt/pepper over bison shoulder.
2. Pour EVOO into bottom of crock pot
3. Add all ingredients into crock pot and pour beef broth over.
4. Cook on low for ~8 hours or until veggies are fork tender and meat is cooked through. You should be able to shred the meat easily with a fork.

    1. whoops! I kept it at low for about 8 hours but you can do high for half the time. Just make sure the meant is cooked through and the veggies.

    1. That was definitely the draw back but completely worth it!
