Ingredients
- 6 large dried New Mexican red chiles or 4 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons toasted cumin seeds
- 4 tablespoons sweet corn powder, optional
- 4 tablespoons rubbed sage
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
- One 5-pound bison chuck roll or other braising cut
- 1/2 cup olive or neutral oil
- 1 quart bison stock, beef stock or water
- 4 to 6 dried New Mexican red chiles
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 3 Roma tomatoes
- 2 cloves garlic
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- For the bison dry rub: Blend the chiles, cumin seeds and corn powder in a spice grinder into a smooth powder and set aside. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the sage, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly and keep in a mason jar.
- For the braised bison: Preheat a grill for cooking over medium-high heat and preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
- Place the bison on a cookie sheet and cover it with oil. Cover with about 5 tablespoons dry rub, thoroughly covering the entire cut. Sear the meat all over on the grill, about 5 minutes per side, then transfer to a Dutch oven and add enough stock to cover the meat halfway. Cover with foil, then the lid and bake until tender, about 12 hours.
- Remove the meat from the hot stock to a cookie sheet and let rest, at least 20 minutes.
- For the chile reduction: Deseed chiles and toast them. Char onion and tomatoes. Put chiles, onion, tomatoes and garlic in a blender along with 2 cups bison stock left behind from cooking the bison and blend until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Use tongs to pull the meat apart and use your hands to separate the fat (discard the fat).
- Cut meat into smaller pieces and return to the Dutch oven with the hot stock and 1 cup chile reduction.
