Ingredients
- 2 tbsp all purpose
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, crumbled
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
- 1 kg bison or stewing beef, cut into 2 inch cubes
- 3 tbsp olive oil

- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water

Instructions
- Combine flour with salt, rosemary, cayenne and black pepper in a large bowl. Toss bison in flour mixture.
- Heat a large pot over high. Add 2 tbsp oil, then meat. You may have to do this in batches. Do not crowd pot. Turn meat until brown on all sides, about 2 min. Transfer to a bowl.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining oil, then onions, and cook until they start to soften, about 3 min. Stir in tomato paste, sugar, meat and any juices. Cook for 1 min. Add water and scrape up any brown bits from pot bottom. Cook for 5 min, then add wine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until meat is tender, about 1 hour and 30 min. Stir in carrots during last 30 min of cooking. Add peas during last 5 min of cooking.

I am not a beef eater, however I decided to make something special for my husband. When I saw this recipe I thought it could be great. It turned out to be amazing!!!!!! My husband loved it. I paired with a Cabernet sauvignon, roasted potatoes and roasted Brussels sprouts. Amazing!,,, I give this recipe a 5 out of 5!
