Yea, don't make steaks.

I have never had good bear steaks, even out of backstrap. Very good flavor but more chewy than bubblegum and harder to swallow.

I would throw them in a crock pot and slow cook them.

Grilled on a hot grill with some kabobs of onion, red sweet pepper. And then served on warmed tortillas with a little salsa, cheese or sour cream.

Bear fajitas.

I do cook it "well" as I'm a little worried about trichinosis. I thought it tasted great...as did my friends.

I also did a few pot-roasts with the backstrap, and that turned out well too.
