need bear recipes

[Ray Hammond]

got bear backstraps, hams, and shoulder meat. What do I do with it?????

[Al Dente]

Backstraps, cut into mdallions, saute serve with a wild mushroom sauce, marinate then grill.

Hams or shoulder, slow roast, crock pot, cube and stew, make some chili, or grind some meat into sausage.

Basically, anything that would work with beef or pork will work with bear.

We've had great bacon made from bear meat...it was some of the finest flavored bacon we ever ate. The processing was done by a butcher.

Great steaks on the grill too!
Marinate for at least 20 minutes in Italian dressing for a complimentary seasoned flavor(yum)

The best wild meat I have had... heck, it was the best meat of any kind I EVER had, was a bear hind leg slow roated in the oven like you would roast a prime rib. Cut with a fork tender, robust flavor, and out-doing any prime rib I've ever tasted. And I can't cook!

Most people ruin bear by wanting to make it into sausage etc. Save the rutting whitetail for sausage and enjoy the bear for what it is... a fabulous piece of meat. I you can't make that bear taste good, come out to Montana and we'll get you a September huckleberry fed bear. No finer meat on the planet!

Ray,

Get a hold of Ron LaClair...he makes a killer bear roast in the dutch oven.

I've only had bear meat cut in cubes and cooked in tomatoe juice like a stew.

I've taken 2 black bears and eaten them both. Had breakfast sausage made out of both of them.
It is the best sausage I have ever eaten. If you have some, buy some fresh Jalepeno peppers slice them in half length-wise and then cut out the seeds.  Next, fill each half with Cream cheese and put skillet browned Bear sausage on the cream cheese.  Fire up your grill and roast them until the peppers start to turn just a little. These are awesome!  I've served them at christmas/birthday dinners etc for the whole family.  When I told everyone what it was, they couldn't believe it.  i wish I had some more bear meat!
