Caribou Pepper Steak

Caribou Pepper Steak recipe image
This Caribou Pepper Steak is a comforting, rustic dish that transforms lean game meat into a tender, flavorful meal. The caribou strips are browned to seal in juices, then slow-simmered with onions, green peppers, and a savory tomato broth. The result is a rich, slightly spicy stew that pairs perfectly with steamed rice. It&# 226;ÂÂs an excellent choice for cold evenings or when you want to enjoy the distinct flavor of game meat in a familiar, home-style format. The long cooking time ensures the meat is fork-tender, absorbing the earthy notes of the herbs and the brightness of the tomatoes.
