Roast Loin Of Bison With Shiitake Mushrooms
- 2 1/2 pounds bison loin, trimmed of fat and connective tissue (see Notes)
- 2 teaspoons grated orange zest
- 1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp. chopped flat-leaf parsley, divided
- 1 teaspoon juniper berries
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic, divided
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 pound shiitake mushrooms, cleaned, stemmed, and cut in half
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Kosher salt
- Using butcher's twine, tie loin at 1-in. intervals and transfer it to a baking sheet fitted with a metal cooling rack. In a small bowl, combine orange zest, thyme, rosemary, sage, 1/2 cup parsley, juniper berries, and 1 tsp. garlic and pat all over loin. Refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Roast loin on middle rack of oven until rare, 30 to 40 minutes (125u0b0 on a meat thermometer). Remove from oven and let rest, covered with foil, 15 minutes.
- Melt 1 tbsp. butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until they have stopped giving off liquid and start to brown. Using a wooden spoon, move mushrooms to side of pan. In center of pan, melt remaining 1 tbsp. butter. Quickly stir in remaining 1 tsp. garlic and 2 tbsp. parsley, then combine with mushrooms, stirring occasionally and being careful not to burn the garlic. Stir in cream and salt to taste.
- Remove twine and lightly salt meat. Slice very thin and serve with mushrooms.
