BISON POT ROAST

Steps:

• To start, sprinkle the roast liberally with kosher salt on both sides. This will help bring moisture and protein to the surface to help brown the meat.
• Heat up a pan large enough to fit the roast, over medium high heat. Cast iron would be best. Add enough cooking oil to coat the the bottom of your pan,
• Once hot add the roast. Make sure to brown the meat on every side. Whole process should take about 10 minutes.
• Add to the slow cooker.
• Add all the seasonings to the broth. Taste the broth to make sure it's strongly flavored. Add more until it's really strong. Then pour over top the roast.
• Add the sprigs of rosemary on top. Put the lid on the slow cooker, and cook for 6 to 8 hours or until the pot roast falls apart with a fork.
