This sauce is flavorful and spicy and a little sweet. Use it on any red meat to finish the flavor. I used it here on backstops from last year’s cow elk. It would also be excellent on a roast.

If you’ve eaten Butter Chicken at an Indian restaurant, then this dish will be familiar. Butter Bear is rich and creamy, and simmering any meat in this sauce for a while will make it tender and delicious.

As always, my purpose isn’t to wow you with amazing recipes that take a chef to make them. I just want to give you ideas for using your meat that everyone will enjoy. That way, it’ll be easier to get away to hunt again next time.

Basically, it’s an egg-rich dish baked in the oven. You can add powdered sugar and butter for a sweet breakfast, or make it savory style with sausage or bacon and other additions for a tasty meal any time.

I took this raccoon roast to Sunday Dinner at a friend’s house. 16 people ate it and they all agreed that it tasted like a beef roast — what do you expect when it eats the same things as cows each day?
