Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs buffalo roast (preferably chuck or sirloin)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 whole garlic bulb
- 2 pieces chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 cups beef stock
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp honey
- 0.5 cup red wine (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Rub the buffalo roast all over with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Slice the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, wrap it in foil, and place it in the oven to roast for 40 minutes while preparing the roast.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the buffalo roast on all sides until well browned, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.
Deglaze the skillet with red wine (if using) or 1/4 cup of beef stock, scraping up any browned bits. Add the remaining beef stock and bring it to a simmer.
Add the roast back to the skillet, cover tightly with a lid or foil, and place it in the oven. Cook for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and reaches an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C).
Once the garlic is roasted, squeeze the soft cloves into a blender. Add chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, honey, and 1/2 cup of the warm beef stock from the skillet. Blend until smooth.
Remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board to rest for 15 minutes, tented with foil.
Strain the liquid from the skillet into a saucepan. Stir in the chipotle roasted garlic mixture and bring to a simmer. Whisk in the unsalted butter to finish the jus.
Slice the buffalo roast against the grain and serve with the chipotle roasted garlic jus drizzled over the top. Enjoy!
