Ingredients

  • 3 lbs. bison shanks
  • 1 cup onions, sliced
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
  • 6 cups beef stock
  • Cooking fat
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Ingredients for the meatballs

  • 2 lbs. ground beef
  • 1 big onion, diced and caramelized in a pan
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. ground allspice
  • 1 egg
  • Cooking fat
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 F.
  2. Combine all the ingredients for the meatballs in a bowl. Mix everything well and form meatballs with your hands.
  3. Melt some cooking fat in a skillet placed over a high heat and brown each meatball on all sides, about 5 minutes.
  4. Transfer the meatballs to a baking pan, and place in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, then set aside.
  5. Melt some cooking fat in a saucepan placed over a medium-high heat and brown the bison shanks until dark brown on all sides.
  6. Add the onions and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
  7. Add in the beef stock, cinnamon, cloves, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 2 hours.
  8. Once the meat is well cooked, remove from the pot, and break the bison shanks apart into chunks.
  9. Use a strainer to clear the broth. Then pour it back to a large saucepan, and add the meatballs and bison meat.
  10. Cook until everything is warm, and season again to taste.
  11. If you like a thicker sauce, you can stir in 1-2 tbsp. of tapioca starch. Dissolve it in water first and then add it to the sauce.
