Grizzly Bear Goulash
This hearty and flavorful grizzly bear goulash is a perfect meal for a cold winter night. The ground beef is browned in the air fryer, then simmered with onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and seasonings until the vegetables are tender and the liquid has reduced by half. Serve hot over mashed potatoes or rice.
This recipe was inspired by a trip I took to Alaska a few years ago. I was on a guided hunting trip, and we were lucky enough to bag a grizzly bear. We brought the bear back to camp and cooked it over a campfire. The meat was so tender and flavorful, and I knew I had to recreate the dish at home. I experimented with different ingredients and cooking methods, and I finally came up with this recipe. It's not quite as good as the original, but it's close!
