Bear Marinade
You can marinate one of two ways:
(1) Put the meat in a container of milk with lots of garlic and let set overnight in the refrigerator.
(2) Put the meat in a container of Italian salad dressing
and leave in refrigerator overnight.
Make sure the meat is submersed in the milk or dressing and keep covered with Saran wrap. It doesn't hurt to turn every once in a while when you think of it to mix the meat up and get the meat on top to the bottom and vice-versa.
Whatever you do if you barbeque, bake, roast etc. do not, I repeat DO NOT stab the meat with a fork as this lets out all the juices and the meat is on the dry side anyway., DO NOT OVER COOK and when you need to turn the meat use a spatchula (not sure of the spelling of this word) The best way to cook any rather dry-type game meat is place it in an oven roasting bag made by Reynolds aluminum but the off-brand if you can get it is okay because Reynolds is the only one who makes these. The off brand is cheaper, too This way the meat will cook in its own juices in the over and keep from drying out.
