2 lb bear steaks
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp combination of oregano, marjoram, r, osemary and/ o
Directions
Trim all visible fat from the bear as it turns rancid rapidly.
Whisk the other ingredients together until emulsified. Use the
emulsion to marinate the meat for 2-3 hours, refrigerated. Longer
marinading before cooking does not improve the meat as the remaining
bear fat will go rancid despite refrigeration. Grill, broil or saute
the steaks until WELL DONE. Bear should always be thoroughly cooked
as a trichinosis precaution. Serve immediately.
Do not try making a gravy from the marinade as it will usually have
picked up a gamy taste from the bear meat.

The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these old cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. Later on, we find a couple of interesting books which date from the 1300s : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are nothing to do with the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of food cooked for the upper classes of that time. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted an outbreak in recipe publications, some of which are now in private libraries. For the centuries that followed, the powerful and wealthy competed with each other to serve up the most exotic banquets, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookbooks are in great demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and being a little richer. The introduction of the TV gave us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
