Equipment

1 dutch oven or pot with lid

Ingredients

1 lb bear meat
2 potatoes cut into large cubes, or petite cut in half
2 carrots peeled and cut into large bite size chunks
2 tbsp minced garlic
1/2 c frozen peas
2 c beef broth or water
2 tbsp oil
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions

Cut bear meat into bite size cubes. Pour oil into a frying pan and brown outsides for a couple of minutes so there is no more pink on the outsides.
Add broth, cover and simmer over low to medium heat with the lid closed for 2 hours.
Add bite size potatoes and sliced carrots. Add more water so everything is submerged if there isn't enough. Cook covered for 1 more hour.
Add green peas and simmer for another 10 minutes or until everything is tender to your liking.
If you would like to thicken the gravy more you can whisk together 1 tbsp cornstarch with 3 tbsp cold water until smooth. Bring stew to a boil and pour in. Allow to bubble and thicken for a few minutes and then serve.
