Ingredients

• 1 kilogram Buffalo sirloin roast
• 3 tablespoons Kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons Dark brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 200 grams Baby bella mushrooms, sliced
• 1 large Shallot, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 cups Beef or buffalo stock
• 0.5 cup Dry red wine
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 0 to taste Salt
• 0 to taste Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Pat the buffalo sirloin roast dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix kosher salt, dark brown sugar, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and chopped thyme.

Step 3

Rub the spice mixture evenly over the entire roast. Place the roast on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to cure.

Step 4

Remove the roast from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

Heat a large cast iron skillet or oven-safe pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Step 7

Sear the roast on all sides until it develops a rich brown crust, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet with the roast to the oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, about 45-60 minutes (adjust cooking time for desired doneness).

Step 9

Remove the roast from the oven, loosely tent with foil, and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Step 10

While the roast rests, prepare the mushroom jus.

Step 11

In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

Step 12

Add the chopped shallot and cook until softened and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 13

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 14

Sprinkle in the flour and stir well to coat the mushrooms and remove any raw flour taste, about 1 minute.

Step 15

Deglaze the pan with dry red wine, scraping the bottom to release any browned bits. Simmer until the wine reduces by half, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 16

Pour in the beef or buffalo stock and bring to a simmer. Allow the mixture to cook until the jus thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.

Step 17

Season the mushroom jus with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 18

Slice the rested buffalo roast against the grain into thin slices.

Step 19

Serve the sliced roast with the warm mushroom jus spooned over the top.
