For a deeper flavor, consider adding a bay leaf during the simmering process. Remember to remove it before serving. Feel free to substitute red wine for white wine for a richer flavor profile. Serve this stew with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for an extra touch of elegance. This stew tastes even better the next day, as the flavors continue to meld together. If you don't have fresh parsley, dried parsley can be used, but reduce the quantity to 1 tablespoon.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
20 mins
Sear the Bison: Heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Brown the bison cubes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot, for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until nicely seared. Remove the bison and set aside. (Time: 15-20 minutes)
02
Step
8 mins
Sauté Aromatics: Add the remaining oil to the pot. Add the minced onion and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant. (Time: 7-8 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Create the Base: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat, cooking for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste. Gradually stir in the chicken broth, tomato sauce, water, and white wine, ensuring there are no lumps. Add the parsley, salt, pepper, cloves, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. (Time: 5 minutes)
04
Step
2 hrs
Simmer to Perfection: Return the seared bison to the pot and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently for at least 1 hour, or until the bison is fork-tender and the flavors have melded together beautifully. For even richer flavor, simmer for up to 2 hours. (Time: 60-120 minutes)
