Buffalo Chuck Roast Stewed with Garden Tomatoes and Green Beans (serves 6 to 8)
A great family dinner that says goodbye to summer and hello to fall! Recipe by Jill, but prepared by Dan with easy Crockpot cooking instructions!
1 – 3 pound chuck roast
1 – tablespoon olive oil
2 – teaspoons salt
1 – tablespoon pepper
2 – teaspoon thyme
2 – teaspoon basil
2 – teaspoon oregano
1 – onion, cut into wedges
2 – pounds tomatoes, 2/3 diced, 1/3 quartered
4 – cloves garlic, coarse chopped
4 – cups vegetable stock
1 – pound fresh green beans, washed and clipped
Stewed Buffalo Chuck Roast
1.) Preheat crockpot to high setting.
2.) Rinse and pat dry Buffalo Chuck Roast, leaving netting on.
3.) Rub with, 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt, pepper and seasonings.
4.) Place onions in the bottom of crockpot, place buffalo roast on top of onions and cover with diced tomatoes and garlic.
5.) Add 4 cups vegetable stock.
6.) Seal crock pot and cover with foil and a heavy towel. *I think this helps keep the heat in. Allow to cook on high for 1 hour.
7.) After 1 hour reduce heat to medium to medium low (depending on your crock pot) and set for 6 hours.
8.) Turn crock pot to medium high again, and turn buffalo chuck roast. Add quartered tomatoes and fresh green beans. Pushing beans into juices. Cover and allow too cook for 15 to 30 minutes, based on how you like your green beans.
9.) Remove buffalo roast and place on platter. Using a knife, cut netting away. Slice or pull apart into desired portions. Remove Green beans and place around roast, pouring stewed tomatoes over all. Season with finishing salt.
Garnish with fresh herbs and pass with baked potatoes, wild rice or couscous.

HI Cynthia – The netting around the chuck is cotton and polyester, and latex free!
I’m making this now with my first buffalo chuck roast from you!
Jill,
That seems like a long time to cook. I have made the bison pot roasts from you in the crock pot several times. Most times I end up over cooking it. I got it perfect once but I cant remember exactly how I did it that time. I want to say on low for 7 hrs but im not sure. Any tips you have on bison post roasts crock pot cooking would be helpful.

Hi Dan – I’m a novice crockpot user, but the one thing I do know, is that the cooking time really depends on your crockpot. When braising at low temperatures of around 175 degrees, you will need to cook for about 8 hours. You may want to get a thermometer to test the internal temperature of your crockpot. I start on a high setting first to get pot and meat heated and then reduce heat, but you may want to eliminate this step if you feel that it is too long for your crockpot.
Thanks for your support and I really appreciate the questions. Happy cooking! Jill
Hi, i am getting there roasts from you next week and i have never made a roast. Do you cover the roast completely with stock? or just cover half way? thank you!
sorry, three roasts

Hi Jackie. The roast is usually half to two-thirds covered. Because you are making three, you may need a little more stock or liquid, as well as a little more cooking time (about an hour) if roasts are crowded in the pan. Thanks so much for your order and support. Enjoy!
how many cups is “two 4 cups of stock”?

Thank you for catching the typo. Correction is: Add 4 cups of vegetable stock. Cheers! jill
