Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the caribou meat into thin, 1/2-inch strips. If the meat is tough, pound it gently to tenderize before cutting.
  2. Mix 1/2 cup flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow bowl. Dredge the meat strips in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  3. Heat lard or bacon fat in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  4. Sauté chopped onions, mushrooms, and minced garlic in the fat for about 5 minutes until softened. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside.
  5. Add the dredged meat strips to the hot pan in a single layer. Brown the meat on all sides, working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding.
  6. Remove the browned meat from the pan and set aside with the vegetables.
  7. Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining flour to the drippings in the pan, stirring constantly to create a roux.
  8. Dissolve the beef bouillon cube in 1 cup of hot water. Whisk the broth and Worcestershire sauce into the flour mixture.
  9. Cook the sauce, stirring frequently, until it thickens and bubbles.
  10. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated and smooth. Do not let the sauce boil vigorously.
  11. Return the cooked meat and vegetables to the pan. Stir gently to coat everything in the creamy gravy.
  12. Heat through until warm, about 2-3 minutes.
  13. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, sprinkled with paprika for color and flavor.
