buffalo burgundy

I like buffalo but can only find it at certain times of the year. So I try to stock up my freezer when I can find it. Buffalo is leaner than beef so cooks more quickly. This is one of my favorite ways to cook it. Sometimes I use pearl onions rather than diced onions and love to add baby carrots and diagonally sliced celery.
