Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs buffalo roast
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 lbs Brussels sprouts, halved
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the buffalo roast dry with a paper towel and season all over with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and the ground ginger.
In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, orange zest, honey, soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to create the orange glaze.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the buffalo roast on all sides for about 3-4 minutes per side until browned.
Brush about half of the orange glaze over the buffalo roast and transfer the skillet or pan to the preheated oven. Roast for about 60-75 minutes, basting the roast with the remaining glaze every 15-20 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reads 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare or 145°F (63°C) for medium. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
While the buffalo is roasting, prepare the Brussels sprouts. Place the halved sprouts in a large mixing bowl and toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and rosemary.
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
During the last 25-30 minutes that the buffalo roast is in the oven, place the Brussels sprouts in the oven on a lower rack. Roast them until they are golden brown and caramelized, stirring them halfway through.
Once the buffalo roast is finished cooking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the sliced buffalo roast alongside the garlic roasted Brussels sprouts, and garnish with extra rosemary or orange zest if desired.
