Bear Roast Recipe

I don’t understand all of the hate that black bear meat gets…. especially if it’s a spring bear. My entire family LOVES it luckily because bear hunting in the Spring is one of my favorite things in this world. Maybe you just have to cook it right (and take good care of the meat in the field of course). Anyway, here’s a tried and true bear roast recipe that is tough to screw up.

Bear Roast Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 Medium Onion
• 2 TBSP Brown Sugar (I usually substitute with honey)
• 1 TBSP Paprika
• 1 TSP Salt
• 1/2 TSP Black Pepper
• 3 LB Bear Roast (Need help getting a bear? Here’s some great bear hunts. *shameless plug)
• 6 TBSP Cider Vinegar
• 1 CUP Chicken Broth
• 2 TSP Worcestershire Sauce
• Red Pepper Flakes to taste
• 1 TSP Sugar (honey works too)
• 1 TSP Dry Mustard
• 1/2 TSP Cayenne Pepper

Directions

1. Place onion in a slow cooker.
2. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, salt and pepper. Mixing thoroughly.
3. Rub the mixture on the meat, coating evenly. Place the roast in the slow cooker.
4. In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, chicken broth, worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, sugar, mustard and cayenne pepper. Mixing thoroughly.
5. Add to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. *Like pork, the proper cooking time for bear meat is 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes per pound. Internal cooking temperature should reach 160 degrees for 3 minutes or more before consumption.
6. Remove the meat and discard the fat. (Most people don’t like the taste of bear fat.)

That’s it. It’s a super simple recipe that always turns out great. This is a good one for a Sunday afternoon.

Thank you Outdoors International!

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren't applying for the OI Draws, you should. They're legit!

I couldn't believe we won!

We won this fully guided, all-inclusive New Zealand red stag hunt in the OI Draw! I highly recommend this hunt, and Outdoors International—fantastic company, amazing meals, and hunts that are second to none.

I'm so grateful for the opportunity!

Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH's and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%.

My most memorable and rewarding experience.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International.

Dason Lasater / OI Draw Winner

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.

This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.

We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.

Thank you,
Stan Masneri

What an amazing experience!

The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
