1st Bear Steak
Ate my 1st bear steak. Over cooked it due to paranoia. It was well done. Would have been better at 160F. By the time I took it off, it kept on climbing to 195F.
It's really no different than beef taste wise. The piece I had was lean. The butcher trimmed it pretty well.
Next time I will try for a lower temperature.
6 minutes on the grill per side.
I usually do 3 minutes for my Elk steaks.

Since I started using my thermoters my cooking has gotten better. Though sometimes hard to do with thin steaks. Though it sounds like you did not have a problem measuring.
Since I have started cooking my venison less, it has gotten alot better.

Paranoia from the thought of getting Trichinosis? I killed my first black bear three years ago and read up on that so made sure I used a therm. to ensure I did not infect my family. I forget now what the internal Temp had to be for it to be safe. I did a loin roast for Christmas and it was ate before the Ham! I assume most bear hunters are already aware but I have not been around much bear hunting. Finally had a chance at a boar during muzzle loader season.
