Bison, Broccoli & Celery Root Stir-Fry
Our family is finding that it really likes bison! It started with Bison Sliders and then tonight a stir-fry. Just before taking his last bite, I asked my husband if he could tell what kind of meat it was. Nope.
It was a few weeks back that I grabbed some of the more odd looking produce at the grocery store determined to figure out how to cook it. So, I had celery root in the fridge and thought I would add that to the stir-fry along with some other straggler veggies before they went bad.
Please note: Bison can differ in taste. We bought some bison sausage at Costco and it was just awful. Apologies to the sausage maker for a lousy review, but they tasted really bad. We threw them in the trash.
Mix in bowl and marinate in refrigerator for 1-3 hours:
1 pound BISON SIRLOIN STEAK (sliced thin and against the grain)
2 tablespoons ARROWROOT STARCH
2 tablespoons BRAGG'S LIQUID AMINOS
1/2 teaspoon RICE WINE VINEGAR
Chop and reserve:
2 cups thinly sliced BROCCOLI
1 small ONION sliced into wedges
Handful of julienned CELERY ROOT
Handful of sliced BOK CHOY
Handful of sliced PURPLE CABBAGE
In hot wok, saute for one minute:
1 tablespoon GRAPESEED OIL
1 roughly chopped GARLIC CLOVE
Add bison to wok. Brown and set aside. Add broccoli, onion and celery root to wok (and more oil if needed). Toss and saute 3-5 minutes. Add rest of the veggies to wok along with 1/3 cup water. Cover and sweat veggies for a 2-3 minutes until desired crispness. Add beef back along with the following mixture:
2 teaspoons BRAGG'S LIQUID AMINOS
2 tablespoons WHITE COOKING WINE
1 teaspoon HONEY
A dash of SESAME OIL
1/2 teaspoon grated GINGER
Serve alone or with rice.
MODIFIED DIET CONSIDERATIONS: This would make a nice ACD dinner. For early ACD stagers omit the rice, honey, and possibly arrowroot starch.

I've never had bison but always wondered what it tastes like. I guess I'll have to get brave and give it a try. Last year I experimented with all kinds of new veggies - first year with a CSA. Having someone pick the veggies for you makes you get out of your cooking comfort zone. About to start picking up from the CSA again. Can't wait.

Hi Nancy, bison isn't at all what I had expected. It's quite mild and so much leaner than beef. We have a small health food store here that just started carrying another brand which has been superb. It's the only place I have found that carries such a variety of cuts: stew meat, ground, sirloin, breakfast & Italian sausage, and roasts. I wonder how you go about finding a variety of bison cuts in states outside of the Rockies and Plains? Maybe a local butcher shop? Good luck and I HOPE you find some. Our CSA starts up in May (Wellington, CO) and am so excited, too! Can't wait to get the boys "working the farm" — we'll contribute 18 hours of work for a small discount. I'd do it for free!
