What's in Mrs. Fin's oven?

[Nate Mode]

Randy, I need to make some room in the freezer and have some old bear meat taking up space. After taking that beautiful Alaskan black bear this spring do you have a favorite family bear recipe that you could share? Maybe Mrs. Fin's specialty?

I'm in charge of the wild game cooking, much to the detriment of our table fare.

I've tried many times to roast recipes that are designed for elk or beef, all with varies results; variation mostly a function of the chef.

Which cuts of bear meat do you have you'd like to prepare?

 

[rideold]

I've made chili with bear meat with great success if you have a cut that you want to grind or cube up. Can't beat treating it like pork shoulder and making pulled bear tacos either.

Big fan of stew.

There's nothing good to do with any of it. Pack it in dry ice and fed ex it to me.

Generous as per usual.

Slow cooked shredded shoulder. You can make tacos with it,
Bbq pulled bear with it ect......

I usually look in the freezer and have to decide between elk, antelope, deer, or bear. not a tough choice unless guest are coming over that you don't like.

Surprise!

Guess what you are eating?!?

Where is Gerald Martin? That shredded bear recipe he had was out of this world.

IME, adding some heat/vinegar flavor to bear is really good. I add Jalapenos a to just about any bear slow cook.

Front shoulder

Grind it, cut it 50/50 with a fatty pork shoulder, and make sausage. Tons of good recipes, and sausage goes good with anything.

Respectfully disagree. All of that connective tissue in the front is just flavor waiting to be unlocked in a dutch oven, plus I don't love all of that silver skin in my sausage.

I like to marinade it with Moore's Marinade, throw it on the grill. After flipping it at least once, put some Tony Chachere original on it, and grill until completely done. That's my favorite anyway. The wife said that she like that better than most wild game.
