People have hunted bears since prehistoric times for their meat and wool. Bears are common in the Northern Hemisphere and partly in the Southern Hemisphere. Due to its keen sense of smell, large size, fierce temperament and secrecy, the bear has always been considered a favorite target of hunters. And even having identified the beast, it is difficult to kill it in a fair hunt, but it is easier to lure it into a trap by luring it with something sweet. Bears are usually nocturnal and are quite difficult to find in the forest.
Cooking methods
The best parts of a bear are considered to be the thighs and paws. In terms of taste, bear meat is very specific: it has a sweet taste and a fatty, rough texture. The meat of brown bears is usually eaten. Whites are the main source of food for the Eskimos. Polar bear meat is served baked, cooked in stew or soup. This meat is never eaten raw, and the liver is almost never used as food, since it has a high vitamin A content and is highly toxic.
The taste of bear meat depends on the bear’s diet, gender and age.. It is best to marinate the meat of an adult bear in orange juice, vinegar or red wine. This will make it softer. The taste of bear meat is reminiscent of chicken and pork. However, as a rule, it contains more fat than pork.
Bear meat can be stewed for 2-3 hours with onions, carrots and bay leaves, after cutting into small pieces. It is better to serve the dish with a potato side dish. Bear meat can also be simply boiled and served with different sauces. Mustard, red pepper or grated horseradish will add spiciness to the meat. Bear meat makes excellent jellied meat. It should be cooked as usual, but you can add pork feet to help it set.
It is better not to serve bear meat separately: the specific taste is masked by spices or side dishes. Pickled cucumbers, onions, garlic will add piquancy, and lingonberries, cheese, mushrooms, and quince will add a special aroma. Bear hams can be smoked or salted. Salting meat lasts about a month, and it can be stored in brine for a long time before cooking.
Useful properties of bear meat
The bear hibernates for five months, so it must accumulate a large amount of nutrients. In summer, the bear eats meat, fish, wild honey, berries, herbs and bark. His body is enriched with a set of biologically active substances, amino acids, vitamins and microelements. Bear meat is low in sodium. It is a rich source of protein, B vitamins, zinc and iron. However, bear meat is high in cholesterol, which reduces its usefulness.
Bear meat recipes
In a slow cooker
Bear meat is a real delicacy that you cannot find in the store. Therefore, few people know the nuances that should be paid attention to. It is believed that the best meat comes from individuals that have not reached three years of age, and the smell depends on the animal’s nutrition. The aroma of fat is quite often so specific that it spoils the entire dish. Then it needs to be cut off without any residue. We'll tell you how to cook bear meat at home using a slow cooker:
- Cut one and a half kg of meat without fat into portions, put them in water, then soak the meat all day, periodically changing the liquid.
- For a marinade of your choice, mix olive oil, adjika, French mustard, Italian herbs, suneli hops, thyme, garlic and a little mayonnaise.

Conclusion
If you follow the instructions correctly, bear meat produces very tasty and nutritious dishes. You can choose a culinary recipe to suit your taste and use it to prepare an exotic dinner.
Step 1: Prepare the bear paw with pork.
Let me say right away that this dish is very quick and quite simple to prepare. Therefore, it is necessary to begin the process of preparing it immediately before dinner or lunch. So, first of all, we need to peel and wash the potatoes. Then pour just a little cold water into a shallow bowl and begin to grate the potatoes on a coarse grater. Water is needed to prevent the potatoes from starting to turn black. We leave the potatoes in the water so that all the unnecessary starch comes out.
At this time, let's start with the meat. We wash it well under cold running water and cut it into wide, thick pieces. Then we beat them well with a hammer. I’ll clarify right away when buying meat, choose the widest pieces with streaks of fat. The chopped meat must be salted, sprinkled with special seasonings and rubbed with pre-squeezed garlic. Place the grated potatoes in a colander to drain excess liquid, then squeeze out the remaining starch with your hands and transfer to a bowl, add two eggs, add a little salt and pepper and mix thoroughly. Beat the remaining one egg in a shallow bowl with a fork and add a little salt. 
Take a flat plate and place the potatoes on it (squeeze out excess liquid if necessary). 
Dip a piece of meat into a beaten egg and place it on top, and again place the potatoes on it. 
Place a frying pan over medium heat, pour in a little vegetable oil and carefully roll our “paw” off the plate. Fry on both sides until golden brown. We prepare all the “bear paws” in a similar way. 
At this time, set the oven to preheat to temperature 180 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out the finished “legs”. Sprinkle grated cheese on top (I used Russian) and put in the oven for 15 minutes(maximum -20). Step 2: Serve bear paws with pork.
After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and place the “foots” on serving plates, garnish with parsley leaves. As a side dish, you can prepare a light vegetable salad, and serve red, sweet wine as an aperitif. Bon appetit! You can add a little onion to the grated potatoes.
The baking sheet can be greased with a piece of butter if you don’t have parchment paper.
You can add some finely chopped herbs and garlic to the potatoes to enhance the flavor.
Let me say right away that this dish is very quick and quite simple to prepare.
Therefore, it is necessary to begin the process of preparing it immediately before dinner or lunch.
To prepare one bear's paw, peel 3 potatoes and place in a container of water.
As my husband says: “Food without meat is not food.”
So take 150-200 g of meat. I rely on your taste and imagination.
Do you like pork? Wonderful! Cut a piece about the size of your palm and beat it well.
Do you prefer beef? Cut a thin piece, preferably from meat that has not had time to completely defrost. Beat it even more diligently than pork.
Are you too lazy to hit? Take minced meat.
Don't eat meat? Use fish fillets. It's even easier.
And I prefer to cook “Bear's Paw” with chicken fillet
We return to the soaked potatoes, but not empty-handed, but with a large grater and a plate. Salt, add a raw egg.
You can also add finely chopped onions. We do all the steps quickly so that the potatoes do not have time to darken.
Take a flat plate. Lightly squeeze half of the resulting potato mass and place it on a plate.
Dip the meat into a raw egg and place it on top of the potatoes. Cover the meat with the remaining grated potatoes. Pour vegetable oil into the frying pan and heat it.
We bring the future delicious “bear paw” to the frying pan and very carefully slide it directly into the oil. Such manipulations are necessary so that the dish does not
It fell apart, but it turned out beautiful.
Fry first on one side until golden brown. Carefully turn over and fry on the other side.
That's all!
Simple, like everything ingenious!
Choose, there are several options for this dish
1.Need: 500 gr. pork (fillet); 2 eggs; 100 gr. Parmesan cheese; Breadcrumbs; Salt, pepper, oil for frying.
Cut the meat into medallions 1-1.5 cm thick. If the meat has veins, beat it off a LITTLE. Salt and pepper. Beat eggs with a pinch of salt. Grate the cheese on a fine grater and mix with breadcrumbs. Dip the pieces of meat first into the egg, then into the breadcrumbs. Fry on both sides until a dark crust forms. (7-8 minutes) The meat turns out cheesy and crispy, but with a soft center. Mashed potatoes are a great side dish.
2. Bear Paw cutlets
300g each of liver, beef and pork, spices, bread, egg.
We pass the meat through a meat grinder. Add spices (salt, pepper) to the minced meat. Cut the bread into cubes approximately 1cm*1cm. We form a cutlet from the minced meat, roll it in an egg (raw), and then in bread cubes and fry in vegetable oil. It is advisable to give the cutlet a flattened shape. The finished cutlets resemble a bear's footprint, hence the name.
3. Roast "Bear's Paw"
You need an oblong piece of pork flesh, preferably the part from which chops are cut, but any non-flat flesh will do. We make three cuts along the meat fibers so that it looks like a trefoil from a transverse perspective. Rub mustard, chopped garlic, salt and ground pepper into the cuts. Place steamed dried apricots, cut in half, along the meat into these slits.
Now we tie the meat together with dried apricots with a thick thread so that it does not fall apart during stewing. We give the original oblong shape. Coat the entire piece with mustard and garlic and let it marinate for an hour. Fry on three sides until golden brown, then add a little water and simmer for an hour, turning from side to side. Remove the threads, cut the roast across the grain (the cut looks like a bear's paw), and serve with a green salad or marinades. Very tasty when served cold.
4. "Bear's paw" with fish
Potatoes - 1.5 kg, Pangasius fillet (or any other fish) - 1 kg, Chicken egg - 2-3 pcs, Hard cheese - 100 g, Mayonnaise, Seasoning for fish, Garlic - 3 teeth.
Cut the pangasius fillet into pieces and marinate in mayonnaise with spices. While the fish is marinating, grate the peeled potatoes. Squeeze the potatoes, add eggs, salt, garlic. And also some cheese. Our “dough” is ready. Line a baking sheet with foil and grease with a small amount of vegetable oil. Place some of the grated potatoes on a baking sheet. Fish on top. Top with more “dough” and grated cheese. Bake in the oven for 35 minutes.
Here's what one of the chefs writes:
“...all that remains is to give the recipe for making “bear paw” from the collection “Mordovian Cuisine”
Pork and liver are passed through a meat grinder, passivated onion, salt and pepper are added to taste, everything is thoroughly mixed, given an oval flat shape (“bear paw”), breaded in flour, then in egg and white bread, cut into cubes. Fry in hot vegetable oil and serve with a complex vegetable side dish."
Bear meat is a real rarity; you can’t buy this meat either at the market or in a store, but bear meat is very healthy. But bear meat is very dangerous if it is not cooked correctly. Today you can only try bear meat in fancy restaurants, or buy it from a hunter who practices bear hunting. Both the first and second are quite expensive. But buying packages in bulk is not at all expensive, especially if you do it online, directly on the manufacturer’s website.
Mostly, bear meat dishes are stewed and boiled, but fried bear does not turn out delicious every time, even if the meat is pre-marinated and seasoned with seasonings. Old bear meat is not suitable for frying at all.
Bear's paw is a real delicacy of Russian cuisine.
Bear paw
Bear's paw is considered a special delicacy. It is prepared according to a special recipe. First, the paws are stewed for about 15 minutes in sparkling mineral water; the mineral water makes the bear meat soft. After this, the paws are boiled in plain water for 4 hours. Once the paws are boiled, the skin is removed from the feet, claws, small bones and remaining fur are removed. And this is just the beginning of the process of preparing a bear's paw. After this, each paw is wrapped in cloth and put to stew along with chicken or duck. The water should be drained several times to remove any smell; after 2 - 3 hours the bear's paws will be ready.
After the paws are cut into portions and seasoned with spices. Seasonings with bright aromas are ideal for bear meat - garlic, ginger, chives, chopped water chestnuts, you can pour wine over the bear meat.
