Bill Bobs Bear Stew Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In a large mixing bowl combine flour, oregano, salt and pepper. Place bear meat in the bowl a little at a time and coat well.
• 2. Heat oil and butter in a large skillet. Fry the bear meat until browned. Let drain on paper towels.
• 3. Fill a large Dutch oven with 2 to 3 quarts water. Add bear meat, onions, beef broth, bay leaves, potatoes, mushrooms carrots and turnips. Cook on medium-high heat for 2 to 3 hours. Add more water as needed.
• My Note: I have been making this receipe for over 55 years -- when I was first introduced to bear meat! It is fantastic! I have also altered the water ingrediant and used a can of cream of mushroom so that there is some "gravy" to pour all over. On occassion, I have seen some people wrinkle their nose at the thought of eating bear meat but when I serve this, they change their minds! Many times, they can't even tell the difference! A stomach doesn't care as long as it's good and this is one of the best. Add/subtract you favorite veggies and enjoy!
• I also added 3 stalks celery, sliced, and sometime a can of cream of mushroom soup.
• Or I added Guinness beer to the slow cooker with out one quarts water.
• I fried the meat in a pot, so when I added water, it would get all the brown bits stuck in the pan. Since we were given this meat, not harvested by us, I was unsure how old it was and how it was prepared, so I added 1 T of vinegar to the water. This tenderizes the meat while cooking and does not leave a vinegary taste. Also added the salt at the end.
• If you didn't have any bear, but beef stew meat. And needed a recipe for turnips and this is very good. I also added some whole allspice and parsnip, as well as whole pepper kernels instead of ground. I'd only suggest to add the turnips and mushrooms about 1/2hr before the end as they got rather soft. Otherwise it's very tasty, even my 15mo old enjoyed it!

• 3. Git the Dutch Oven jist as hot as ye can git it. Put the Bay Leafs in the bottom (Keep count of Bay Leafs so you can retrieve and remove before serving, They can be a choke hazard). Dump the chunked meat in, sprinkle with 1/2 cup Flour, the Dry Onion Soup mix, and 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder or three minced cloves, and a dash of salt and pepper.
• 4. Give everything a good mixin' and cook on high heat for 10 or 15 minutes, while stirring.

• 6. Sit back and enjoy about three rounds of Euchre. Tend the oven with a little gentle stirring every 1/2 hour or so. Should be done in 2 to 2 1/2 hours. If the gravy inside looks a little thin sprinkle on 1/4 cup additional Flour, and give a gentle stir. Cook at 350 degrees if cooking in oven.
