Chicken Fried Bear Steak

[Brian in Montana]

Wasn't bad with country gravy, green beans, mashed potatoes, and a fruit salad my daughter makes with bananas and strawberries. I really like the flavor of black bear, but it is chewier than elk or deer.

It's a good preparation. Running it through a cuber makes it thin enough to get done enough, yet keeping it juicy. There's a definite difference in meat quality between pounding it out and cubing it. You can get cheap cubers that clamp to a table on Amazon. Also letting it sit in buttermilk breaks down the muscle a bit too. I do a flavored buttermilk with a little hot sauce and seasonings to taste. I do the same soak with livers.

Now I'm hungry for bear and none left in the freezer. I like to hit em with a Jaccard if making them too thin isn't a problem. You can get decent ones on amazon for about $25.

My style is to make bear stew with a crockpot. The meat comes out pretty tender.

Although the above dish looks good too.
