I have more than just the best caribou recipes, check out more wild game recipes at the end of the page.
I offer recipes for caribou stew, ground caribou casserole, caribou hot dish and more below…
The first of my caribou recipes produces a savory and hearty stew. Add beef broth to your liking. Less for a thicker stew and more to be more of a soup. The dumplings make the dish. Nothing like a little boo for dinner.
SAVORY CARIBOU STEW

1-1/2 lbs caribou stew meat, cubed
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup canola or olive oil

Heat oil in a heavy skillet. Toss the meat with flour, and carefully add to the skillet with the onion. Season with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Brown on all sides of the meat well and make sure the onion is translucent.
De-glaze the pan with the red wine, and add the worcestershire sauce and balsamic vinegar. Add the beef broth; simmer for an hour.
Now add the potatoes, celery and carrots; simmering for 15 minutes. During the last 15 minutes of cooking, add the dumpling dough to the stew. (recipe follows)
