      1. Pre-heat oven to 500*.

      2. Mix 1 tablespoon olive oil with salt and pepper, in dutch oven or heavy pan. Place roast in pan and roll around in seasoning, rubbing into meat.

      3. Place roast in hot oven uncovered and roast for 15 minutes.

      4. Add warmed Apple Cider, cover pot tightly and lower temperature to 350*.

      5. Braise Buffalo Roast for 2 ½ hours turning once during braising time.

      6. Roast is finished cooking when meat is tender. You should be able to pull the meat apart using 2 forks, (continue braising for another ½ hour if this is not achieved).

      7. Remove form heat and let roast rest at room temperature, covered for 1 hour, or until you are able to handle.

      8. Remove roast from pot and place on cutting board. Reserve pan juices. Using two forks or hands pull meat apart into manageable pieces and then pull apart into smaller pieces or shred.

      9. Return meat to 1 cup of pan juices.

      10. Add 1 cup B.B.Q. sauce, or desired amount, and stir to incorporate. Bring to full heat, adding in more pan juices or B.B.Q. sauce as desired. Reduce heat to simmer.

          • Hmm, yeah, looking at the recipe for the BBQ sauce, almost 2 1/2 lbs. of ketchup (2 3/4 would be 2.75) seems a bit much; it’s almost as much weight as the meat itself. Maybe 2 1/4 Tablespoons? Cups, even? I’m thinking 2 1/4 cups, since that seems enough with the other liquids, but then I like my sauce thick and sparing. ;)

          • Hi Gigi. For Crock Pot, heat it to its highest heat. Add ingredients listed, cover and cook for about 15 minutes on high. Then drop to low and let it go for 6 to 8 hours. Cheers, jill

          • Hi Jill,

            do you have a recipe for a slow cooker for the chuck roast? My husband and I would like to try your pulled bison burgers on a weekday…hence the slow cooker would save time.

            Thank you!

            Gigi
