- Place the marinade in the refrigerator.
- Place the bison into the chilled marinade and refrigerate for 24 hours.
- Once marinated remove the bison and set aside. Then place the marinade into a pot and reduce down until approx.1 cup of the liquid remains. Let cool down.
- Place the bison into two separate sous vide bags along with 2oz of the sauce reduction (saving any extra sauce). Vacuum seal both bags and place into water with the sous vide set at 125°F and let cook for 72 hours.
- Once cooked remove the bags and place into an ice bath to cool quickly.
- To reheat just before serving, place bags into boiling water for 15 minutes, once hot remove the osso buco and char the outside over a cherry-oak wood grill.
- Add the horseradish into the remainder of your sauce.
- Glaze the bison with the remaining sauce.

Braised Red Cabbage Instructions

- Add the cabbage and red onion to the pot and saute for 10 minutes. Then add the honey and cook for 3 more minutes.
- Deglaze the pot with the water and red wine vinegar.
- Reduce until most of the liquid is gone. At this point taste the cabbage to see if you need to add more water(meaning the cabbage is not fully cooked).
- Season with salt and pepper.
