I can vouch for the bottom recipe, the black bear marinade. Thats the only recipe I've used on bear roasts, and it never fails. The roasts off last springs bear were done this way and were the best roasts I've ever had (including beef, deer, pork,etc.). Definitely worth a try IMHO.

some more variations for some different tastes

Grandma's Bear stew

3 lb Bear meat
1/4 c Vinegar
1 tb Salt
4 c Water
1/4 c Shortening
1 Medium onion, sliced
1 Green pepper, chopped
1 clove Garlic
1/2 c Chopped celery
1 7 oz. can tomato paste
2 c Canned tomatoes
1 dash Tabasco Sauce
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper

Trim all fat of meat and wash meat well in cold water.

Cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes and soak at least 15 minutes in 4 cups of water to which has been added 1/4 cup vinegar and 1 tablespoon salt. Drain and pat dry.

Melt shortening or virgin olive oil in a heavy fry pan, add bear meat and brown well on all sides.

Add onion, garlic and celery and simmer until onion becomes translucent.

Add remaining ingredients, mix well, cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until meat is tender.

Greek Seasoned Bear Steaks
2 lb Bear steaks
1/2 cups Olive oil
1/2 cup Lemon juice
1 tbsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper
1 tsp Combination of oregano, marjoram, rosemary and/or mint

Trim all visible fat from the bear as it turns rancid rapidly.

Whisk the other ingredients together until emulsified. Use the emulsion to marinate the meat for 2-3 hours, refrigerated. Longer marinating before cooking does not improve the meat as the remaining bear fat will go rancid despite refrigeration. Grill, broil or sauté the steaks until WELL DONE. Bear should always be thoroughly cooked as a trichinosis precaution. Serve immediately.

Do not try making a gravy from the marinade as it will usually have picked up a gamy taste from the bear meat.

BBQ Bear
1/4 c Vinegar
2 tbsp Sugar
1/2 tsp Pepper
1/4 tsp Garlic powder
1 Onion, minced
1 tsp Chili powder
5 dashes Tabasco sauce
1/2 c Water
1 tsp Dry mustard
1 1/2 tsp Salt
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1/4 c Salad oil
1/2 c Catsup
2 tbsp Worchestershire sauce
1 Bear roast

Mix all sauce ingredients except catsup and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer 20 minutes, uncovered. Add catsup and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Place bear roast in oven at 325 degrees. Roast 3-4 hours or until tender. Baste frequently with sauce.

Easy Gourmet Bear Meat Loaf

3 lbs ground bear meat 1 lb ground beef (fatty)
3 cans Campbell's French onion soup
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups of bread crumbs
1 can mushrooms 8 oz or larger
1/4 cup ketchup
garlic powder (to taste)
black pepper (to taste)

Drain the broth out of 2 cans of the French onion soup and set aside. Next put the other ingredients (except 3rd can of soup) into a mixing bowl. Add the onions from the two cans of soup and mix well.

Put into roasting pan and pour broth and the third can of onion soup over top. Set oven at 350 degrees and cook for 2 1/2 hours or until done.

Make sure that the meat is thoroughly cooked.
