    Candied bourbon bear backstrap

    One ingredient I forgot to include in the video is chipotle powder, adds a great angle to this marinade!



    Meat
    • One bear backstrap

    Marinade
    • ¼ cup soy sauce
    • 1 cup Dr. Pepper or root beer
    • ½ cup dark brown sugar
    • ½ tbsp chipotle powder
    • ¼ cup tablespoons olive oil
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 Tbsp dry mustard
    • 2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
    • 4-6oz bourbon
    • ½ sweet onion, diced


    Glaze
    • ½ cup brown sugar
    • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
    • ½ tsp dry mustard
    • 1 Tbsp butter
    • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
    • ½ cup Dr pepper or root beer
    • Pink salt
    • Fresh ground pepper to taste
    • 1oz bourbon

    Mix marinade in freezer bag and marinate meat for 24 hours.

    Preheat oven or smoker to 300, while it heats up mix together your glaze ingredients and simmer/stir. Bake backstrap for approximately 90 minutes at which point you can start brushing the glaze on every 5-10 minutes for another 20-30 minutes or until the internal temp hits 170. Tent with tin foil and let it sit in a cooler for 15 minutes before slicing.

    Enjoy!
