Cliff’s Canadian Bear Steak

1 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon thyme
2 large bear steaks
1 cup sliced onions
5 tablespoons bacon drippings
2 cups beef stock
1 cup red wine
2 tablespoons tomato paste

In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper and thyme. Pound this mixture into all sides of the steaks using a meat hammer. Brown the onions in the bacon drippings, and add the seasoned steaks. Brown the steaks well on all sides. Add 1 cup of the stock and the cup of wine. Bring to a boil on medium heat. Reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Turn the steaks, cover the pan and let the steaks simmer on low for 2 hours, adding more stock if necessary. Check the steaks for seasoning, and serve.
