Estouffade de Bison

Serves 4 Main course

Ingredients

Meat
  • 800 g bison (shoulder or chuck/tykkam)
  • Olive oil
  • All-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper
Marinade (overnight)
  • ½ bottle red wine
  • 150 g carrots, diced
  • 150 g onions, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Thyme, bay leaf, sage
Garnish
  • 100 g smoked bacon
  • 125 g mushrooms
  • 125 g pearl onions
  • 125 g green olives (whole)
  • 400 g tomatoes
  • Zest of ½ lemon, cut into thin strips
  • 500 ml stock
  • 1 small bunch parsley

Method

  1. Cut the meat into cubes of approx. 50 g. Dice onions and carrots. Combine meat, vegetables, herbs and red wine and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
  2. Remove the meat from the marinade (reserve the marinade), pat dry and brown in olive oil over high heat. Add the vegetables and sauté briefly. Dust with a little flour and let it brown lightly.
  3. Add the reserved marinade with herbs, garlic, salt and pepper, along with the stock. Cover and simmer gently for about 2 hours (or in the oven at 160°C / 320°F) until the meat is very tender.
  4. Cut bacon into cubes and fry until crisp. Quarter the mushrooms and sauté in the bacon fat. Cook pearl onions gently in a little water with butter, salt and sugar until tender.
  5. Peel the tomatoes (briefly blanch), quarter them and remove the seeds. The seeds may be added to the sauce.
  6. Remove the meat and strain the sauce. Add olives, bacon, mushrooms, pearl onions, tomato flesh and lemon zest. Simmer for a few minutes and finish with chopped parsley.
Serving suggestion: Traditionally served with pasta or boiled potatoes – and a glass of red wine.

Order Bison meat directly from our farm

At Randeris Bison, we raise our animals with respect for nature and at their own pace. The bison live outdoors year-round in family groups and are slaughtered gently – without stress or long transport. The result is tender, lean and flavourful meat of high quality.

 

We sell the meat directly from the farm freezer in carefully measured packs – ready for use in your kitchen. The selection varies depending on season and slaughter, but we always offer both classic cuts and exciting specialties. You can see the current selection below.
