LONGHUNTER'S BEAR ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
• Cut deep slits in top of roast and insert garlic slices.
• Salt and pepper the meat well.
• Lay a few fat slices under the roast, put it in preheated oven, and roast 20 minutes or so until the fat browns.
• Turn the heat down to 300-325 degrees and roast about 2 1/2 hours.
• When done, remove roast and the fat cracklings to a hot pan or platter.
• Gravy: Retain 2-3 tablespoons of fat in the roasting pan with the drippings and in it saute the finely chopped onions and celery.
• Stir in the flour and herbs.
• Stir on a low flame until thickens, stir in the herbs.
• Add Worcestershire sauce.

BEAR ROAST RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 220⁰ F.
• Put the bacon fat in the Dutch oven and heat until it melts. Add the bear roast and brown it on all sides.
• Season the roast with salt and pepper, and then add all of the diced veggies and herbs. I don't specify the amount of potatoes, because it depends how much you want to eat and what size you're using - just go with what your gut tells ya.
• Stir in the liquids, and then cover the Dutch oven with a lid.
• Place the Dutch oven in the oven, and cook for 7-8 hours at the low temperature. Don't peek at it as it cooks.
• At the 7 hour mark, check to see what the internal temperature is, remembering that you want it to be 160⁰ F. If it's not quite to the right temperature, stick it back in the oven until it does reach 160⁰ F.
• When done, strain the juices, remove any fat from the meat, and serve it up. Or, if you want gravy, use the juices to whip up a quick batch.

BEST EVER BEAR ROAST | FALL-APART TENDER RECIPE

Steps:

• Add the olive oil to a large pan and heat over medium high heat. Meanwhile, pat the roast down with a paper towel to absord excess moisture. Sprinkle it with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper.
• When the pan is hot, sear the roast on all sides, creating a nice crust. This will take 5-10 minutes.
• Once the roast is seared, lay it in the bottom of a slow cooker.
• Mix together the garlic cloves, beef stock, red wine, balsamic, tomato paste, and the remaining salt and pepper.
• Pour the liquid over roast and lay the thyme sprigs over the top.
• Cover the slow cooker with a lid, and let it cook for 4-6 hours on high or 8-9 hours on low. The roast should be falling apart with a fork, that's how you know it's done.
• Serve with the liquid you cooked the roast in (you can reduce it down on the stove if you like). Enjoy!
