Comfort food gets a modern (and healthy) twist with the use of bison in place of beef. 

Directions

​

  1. Carefully wash the leeks and halve lengthwise. Cut the white of the leek into ¼-inch half rounds. Save the dark green parts to make a delicious vegetable stock.

  2. Heat the grape seed oil in a Dutch oven.

  3. While the oil is heating, season the bison cubes with salt and pepper.

  4. Add the bison to the Dutch oven and brown for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip to brown on the other side, adding the carrots, leeks, onion and celery.

  5. Continue to brown the meat for an additional 3 minutes.

  6. Pour in the stock and wine and add the whole thyme sprigs.

  7. Bring to a simmer and simmer, covered for 2-2 1/2 hours.

  8. Just before serving, remove the thyme sprigs and gently stir in the buerre manie.

  9. Allow it to simmer for about a minute to thicken before removing from heat and serving.
