time-tested and delicious recipe for you to try. With a main ingredient of bear,
successful meals are virtually guaranteed.
3 lbs. bear meat, cubed
salt and pepper
½ tsp. powdered thyme
3-4 tbsp. flour
2-3 tbsp. lard, oil or bacon fat
1 large onion, diced
2 celery tps with leaves
3 carrots, sliced
½ tsp. marjoram
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 cups red wine or enough to cover
1 clove garlic, smashed
1 tsp. Beef boullion powder (or 2 cubes)
Sprinkle bear cubes with salt, pepper, and half the thyme, then coat heavily with flour. In Dutch oven or electric skillet, melt fat and saute the bear cubes on all sides in several batches so the pieces are not crowded, remove cubes that are nice and brown to make way for more. When all the bear is browned, saute onion, green peppers, carrots and celery in the same pan, adding more fat if necessary until onions are barely translucent. Return the bear to the pan, add the rest of the ingredients, then cover and simmer for about 1-1/2 hours. Add water as flour absorbs the liquid from the bear cubes. This may need to be repeated.

i don't think this bear will dress out to three pounds... but with the beer he's been drinking, well, we'll see...
