Years ago, my parents owned some property that was next door to the state High School Rodeo grounds in another western state. Each year, they would allow families with contestants to camp on their property for the duration of the finals. One of those families would bring them the most delicious buffalo roasts each year. It was seasoned with some sort of sage marinade and nothing else. They cooked it pioneer style, wrapped with aluminum foil and cooked underground in a pit using a Dutch oven. They dug a hole, started a roaring fire, then placed the Dutch oven in the coals and covered it up with dirt and let it simmer for at least 24 hours. Upon digging it up, it was so tender and tasty, you really didn’t need to add anymore seasoning or sauces. It was melt in your mouth tender and contained very little fat or gristle. I’d love to see some Dutch oven recipes for a marinade of this sort and full instructions about how to go about cooking it. Any takers out there?
