Welcome to the seasonal diet cooking show.

Introduce the recipe as a traditional Norwegian dish with a Native American twist using ground bison instead of traditional meat.

Mix ground bison with a little salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Add 1 egg and a tiny bit of flour to the mixture and mix well.

Roll the mixture into small patties.

Peel and cut potatoes for cooking.

Melt butter in a pan until browned, using about 2-3 teaspoons.

Add the patties to the pan to fry them right away.

Chop onions while the patties are frying and add them to the pan.

Once the butter is browned, add a couple of teaspoons of flour to the pan and stir until chunky.

Gradually add beef stock to the flour mixture and stir continuously to avoid lumps.

Flip the meat cakes and mix in the chopped onions with the patties.

Add some fat from the frying meat to the gravy for flavor.

Taste the gravy and adjust as needed.

Stir the sauce well until smooth and serve everything on a plate with gravy on top.
