Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons canola oil (30 milliliters)

• 1 kilogram musk ox shoulder cubes (2 pounds)
• 3 parsnips, roughly chopped

Method:

Put the canola oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Sear the well-seasoned meat. Remove the meat from the pan and Add the onions and allow to seal for a couple of minutes or until they begin to caramelize. Add the seasoned musk ox pieces. Seal the meat by browning it.
