Braised bear shanks
« on: October 22, 2018, 01:20:18 PM »
I decided to see how braised bear shank would taste, and holy cow, I couldn't be happier!
I cut a rear shank in half, seasoned with salt and pepper, dusted in flour, and seared in a hot dutch oven.
Removed the shanks, and added parsnips, carrots and cipollini onions, and sautéed until browned on the edges.
Then I deglazed with a couple cups of red wine and reduced for a bit.
I added the shanks back to the pan, and added homemade bone broth to almost cover the meat.
Tossed in a couple rosemary sprigs, and put in a 250 degree oven, covered, for a few hours.
Removed the shanks, and reduced the sauce on the stove top with a little roux to add some body. I also added mushrooms at this point.
Put the shanks back in to warm, and served.

Nice!  I braised mule deer shanks yesterday then gave them 8 hours on low in the crock pot with a tomato stock.  Beats the heck out of tossing them or putting a bunch of gristle in your burger.

They absolutely melted in your mouth. Serous comfort food. I only wished I'd tracked down some chanterelles over the weekend.

Dang that looks really good.   I wanted to tag @billythekidrock  though I know he isn’t on here anymore.   That just looks yummy.

I love those enameled pots, they just look like they make stuff taste better.  I'm going to have to pick one up one of these days.

I saw an episode of "Meat Hunter" where he cooked the same thing - bear shanks.
He called it "Bear Osso Bucco".
Osso Bucco (sp?) is an Italian dish using a bone with a hole in it.
I've had pork osso bucco from a fancy restaurant & it was REAL GOOD!

I agree. It's my favorite, and it just keep getting better. But I have to stop my wife when she tries to scrub all the stains from the bottom!

You nailed that.  Looks perfect.  I've done it similarly although I seared them on a grill, then went to slow cooking.

That's a special treat.

Thanks for sharing.
