**Title:** Making Pearson's Special Wild Game Stew (Inspired by a Video Game)
**Summary:**
* Arthur Morgan (standing in for Babish) prepares a wild game stew inspired by a video game (likely Red Dead Redemption 2, given the character names and setting).
* The stew features three types of wild game:
1. Venison (whitetail deer from Colorado, found to be relatively non-gamey)
2. Cottontail rabbit (tasted like chicken)
3. Bear meat (described as sweet, with most fat removed)
* The cooking process involves:
+ Building a fire and setting up a cooking rig
+ Preparing vegetables (onion, celery, carrots, with optional garlic and herbs)
+ Searing the meat in rendered bear fat, then simmering the stew with added broth, tomatoes, and potatoes
* The dish is a rustic, wholesome representation of a late 19th-century (c. 1899) Brunswick-style stew, with the presenter finding it "pretty good" despite some minor criticisms.
Here are the extracted key facts in short sentences, numbered for reference:
**Food Preparation**
1. The dish being prepared is Pearson's Special Wild Game Stew.
2. Ingredients include whitetail deer (hindquarters), cottontail rabbit, bear meat, onion, celery, carrots, garlic, bay leaves, crushed tomatoes, and beef broth.
3. The bear meat was partially frozen, making it easier to chop.
4. The legs of the rabbit were included for added flavor.
5. Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper, and flour were used to season the meat.
**Cooking Process**
6. A heavy Dutch oven was used over a roaring fire for cooking.
7. The fire was stoked to achieve high heat for searing the meat.
8. Bear fat was rendered to brown the meat in the stew pot.
9. The meat was browned in batches to ensure even cooking.
10. Onions were sweated until translucent, then garlic and celery were sautéed for an additional minute.
11. The pot was deglazed to scrape up leftover flavors.
**Specifics about Ingredients**
12. Most bear meat contains trichinosis parasites.
13. Cooking the meat above 145°F (63°C) eliminates trichinosis.
14. The venison used was from Colorado deer, likely fed on grain, making it less gamey.
15. The bear meat, after fat removal, was described as a sweeter version of venison, not greasy.
16. The rabbit meat tasted and looked similar to chicken.
**Context and Game Reference**
17. The stew recipe is inspired by a dish from a game set in 1899.
18. The first Brunswick stew, a possible inspiration, was made in 1898.
19. The game's setting and the stew's creation are closely timed, suggesting the in-game character Pearson was a trendsetter.
