Wild Idea Stuffed Bison Roast with Red Wine Gravy
Jill O’Brien
I tested this recipe out on visiting guests, and it was a big success! Prepping the roast will take a little effort, but a sharp filet knife will make it very manageable. The end result will be a very tender, medium roast, with a delicious, savory sausage stuffing and red wine gravy!

Rinse roast and pat dry. Remove any exterior fat. Using a filet knife butterfly roast, in a jelly roll fashion. You will make 3 major cuts lengthwise, starting about 1½ inches in from left, slicing down about 2 inches, flip roast slightly and slice again, repeat. You will encounter a piece of sinew that runs through the roast, slice through and contend with after flat.
Flatten out meat with hands. Using the tip of the filet knife remove visible sinew, but avoid cutting through, which will produce holes. Cut away any miss-shaped end pieces and reserve. There will still be a little sinew in roast, which can be cut away during serving time.
Cover roast with plastic wrap and using a mallet or rolling pin, pound out to about 1 inch thick.
Place stuffing down the center of the roast and wrap meat around until meat touches. Secure with heavy toothpicks.
Pour olive oil, salt and pepper in roasting pan and mix together. Roll roast in seasoned oil, until evenly coated. Add miss-shaped meat pieces to the roasting pan.
Place chopped onion in food processor and flash process, to create smaller pieces and release some of the onions juices.
Pour onions with juices over roast, and press lightly in to meat.
Place roast in pre-heated oven and roast for 5 hours.
Remove roast from oven, and from roasting pan and wrap in foil. Set aside. Increase oven temperature to 500°.
In a saucepan melt one stick of the butter over medium heat. Scrape onion bits and juices from the roasting pan, into the saucepan. Whisk in flour, and stir until well incorporated and lightly brown.
Slowly whisk in stock and wine, stirring constantly.
Add seasoning and bring to a full boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer until reduce by a third.
Remove roast from foil and return roast to pan. Melt remaining stick of butter and pour over the onions on top of the roast. Return roast to lower shelf in oven, and turn oven to broil. Roast until onions are golden brown.

Worth the effort and will definitely impress anyone lucky enough to have it made for them. As mentioned by the other reviewer, trust the recipe, it comes out perfect. The sausage stuffing alone is amazing and if you have any leftovers of the stuffing I can’t recommend enough to fry it up the following morning with an over easy egg.
I made two of these for a dinner party of 10 on Christmas Day! Every bit was eaten. My only tips are do not increase the temp even though everyone will pressure you, like "our oven is lower temp “or” it barely feels warm". Trust the recipe ! It’s perfect! The gravy takes longer than you think ( gravy=patience) the result is fabulous. We had it with Waldorf salad and roasted squash! Heaven!!!!
