How to cook deliciously - Bison Meatballs

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 350° and line a medium baking sheet with aluminum foil.

2. Stage

In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat fat or oil. Cook onions until translucent, 4 to 6 minutes.

3. Stage

Add tomato paste to onions, and cook until darkened, 10 minutes more. (If you're worried about your onions burning, lower the heat to medium-low.) Remove from heat.

4. Stage

In a large bowl, stir to combine wild rice, dried cranberries, steak seasoning, and onion-tomato paste mixture. Add bison and stir until well incorporated. If your steak seasoning does not include salt, season with kosher salt.

5. Stage

Use a heaping 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop, portion meat into 20 meatballs. Transfer to prepared baking sheet, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until meatballs reach an internal temperature of 160°F (for well done). If using, top with fresh herbs. Serve hot.
