Ingredients

• 2 lbs bison stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1 cup red wine (optional, or additional broth)
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 4 carrots, peeled and sliced

• 1 cup frozen peas
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Toss bison cubes with flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
2. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown bison in batches, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and garlic; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Pour in broth and wine (if using), scraping up browned bits. Add bay leaves and thyme. Return bison to pot.
5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1 hour.
6. Add carrots, celery, and potatoes. Cover and simmer for another 30-40 minutes until vegetables are tender.
7. Stir in peas and cook for 5 minutes. Remove bay leaves. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
8. Serve hot.

Tips

• For a thicker stew, mash some of the potatoes against the pot before serving.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
• Serve with crusty bread or over egg noodles.
