We ate the inside loins of the bear last night. Being that I’ve never eaten bear steaks, I didn’t know what to expect. I cooked it just like I’d cook a venison loin, done to a nice rare/med rare in the middle.
WOW! It was amazing. I often try to compare venison to beef, and usually its close depending on the cut or the deer… Bear, however, was every bit as tender and flavorful as beef — maybe more! It was so good that my wife and 5 year old were just raving about it. Both inside loins were gone in minutes, and everyone was asking “is there any more”??
Excellent!
If bear and deer all tasted like the inside tenders we’d have a terrible poaching problem 
Not many local places carry the seasoning (in Eau Claire, anyway), but try local meat markets, butchers, etc… The big chain stores don’t usally carry the stuff in my experience (don’t know why, it is hands down the best stuff out there!!)
