This slow cooker bison chuck roast recipe is the perfect way to enjoy this tender & nutritious roast. This dish with its creamy and tangy gravy is packed with protein and iron, making it a great meal for the whole family.
Add your olive oil and roast to your crockpot on the stove top setting, or use a large skillet on your stove. Sear the meat on medium-high heat, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from pot when finished.
While your meat is searing, peel and slice your onion. When the meat is done searing, remove it and add your onion to the pot to cook until golden and soft.
When the onions are soft, add the meat back to the pot, followed by the seasonings, broth, potatoes, carrots, and bay leaf. Set your crock pot to low for 8 hours.
When the cook time is over, remove the roast and slice it. Scoop out potatoes and carrots. Measure out 1 tbsp of cornstarch into a small bowl and add 1/2 cup of the meat juices.
Whisk the cornstarch and juices together until smooth. Then add it to the rest of the juices in the pot and simmer for 2-3 minutes (do this in a pot on the stove if your crock pot can't do this).
