Basic Bear roast - thoughts?

[Suka]

Got my first bear this spring, we've bbq'd hamburgers, they were great, just ground some meat, little garlic, salt, pepper, egg and fine ground crackers and onto the barbie.

Trying a bear roast tonight, looked at the recipe's posted but am thinking no marinade, told wife just cook it like it was a pork roast: Little wine in the roaster, garlic and montreal steak spice on the roast and into the oven, make gravy in the roaster.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Sounds tasty. I didn't get to fill my tag this spring so I'm a little jealous. Let us know how the roast turns out, and this thread needs Pictures!

I was actually surprised at how mild tasting the hamburgers were. Had some family and friends over for a taste test and everyone liked it. Looking forward to trying a roast. Definitely will be using a thermometer to confirm inner temp.

It doesn't need much. Plenty of garlic, black pepper and paprika maybe some onions in the bottom of the roaster and you're good to go.

I'm not crazy about prepared spice blends as they all tend to taste generic to me.

I wrap my bear roasts in bacon and cook the same as deer or moose in the crock pot . The bear roasts are my favorite .

Rub salt all over, wrap in tinfoi, cook for 2 hours at 325

Rub with salt course pepper and paprika and through an onion and your potatoes and carrots in.

Well, roast was great, thanks for the input guys. Garlic, salt, pepper, some wine and an onion in the roaster, 2 hrs @325 was pretty much bang on.
