[@peterchristensen2528]

Perfect amount of everything. 😁

[@youngsolo6523]

I love the cooking specials that teach us how to make the animals that we kill the best way possible.

[@charlie21gunner87]

I agree, but most people will not go the lengths of these videos. They do give some ideas to me but for the most part I always do my wild game the same. I keep it simple with burger and steaks, maybe a few roasts. The rest is just icing, I never pay for a processor to cut my game.

[@SplashBang08]

Solomon Pace You have to say “harvest” not kill you never know when the vegans are around... lol

[@jchumpty7306]

He has a great cook book too

[@phoenixmastm]

I have to admit, watching him, I'm gonna be trying out sausage making at some point in the future. After I get my first buck this fall. lol

[@mewtube7528]

He managed to say "bear with me" un ironically. He's a beast

[@Insubordinate1204]

Breakfast beer?’ 🤣 love it

[@freehat2722]

Wheaties came out with a beer. Now truly the breakfast of champions.

[@rods6405]

Yep It ticked the final box!

[@Grateful-1992]

Steves speaking my language lol

[@victorkrese6727]

Best hunting show out there. The whole Meateater crew do a great job of honoring the wild game.

[@zebical]

That scotch egg looks incredible!

[@Thisismycomment.]

The only time Steve ever poaches anything is when he eats his eggs 😄

[@robdogg11]

I see what you did there 🤔

[@madisonlitteral7069]

Bruh thats a epic comment 😂 🤣 However most will never get it, or you would have had 10,000 👍 for sure.

[@brennancusick2390]

if you read his book, you'll know that that isn't exactly true.

[@brennancusick2390]

@@Thisismycomment. he has a story about his youthful greed getting the better of him, as well as the ancient tradition of "camp meat". One is an admission of guilt, the other is more of a talk about the traditions of some outdoorsmen. Obviously statute of limitations and all apply. I won't spoil the story, the book is a good read, and I think it's very humble of him to include the poaching story the way he does. He admits that nobody, himself included is perfect.

[@bobsmith-ru7xp]

I haven't read the book, but a meat eater like Steve has for sure "poached" wild game before. I've killed game illegally many times myself. Hell, my first deer was with a .308 during bow season. When meat is your concern game laws take a back seat to meat in the freezer.

[@drewp.weiner2473]

Wild boar sausage gravy and biscuits is where its at

[@vincentvega5686]

...for breakfast!

[@caleb1208]

"Bear with me" nice one lol

[@pocketpicker6613]

You know I had to *paws* after hearing that and scroll through the comments to see if anyone else caught that

[@dukesutherland4615]

Y’all are putting the bear minimum effort into these puns.

[@anthonyhewitt9397]

Almost good enough for a like. Your just short of cleverness points for me maybe next time. 👍😁

[@clarkwilliamRol]

Steve you probably don’t know this but we Asian love watching your video. Especially me. I’m a hunter myself

[@PeacefulPeteable]

What do you hunt? Do you still live in Asia? I love hearing about how and what other countries hunt. Hunting has a way of bringing people together that few other activities are able to do.

[@aidan_thomas1764]

14:52 “gonna practice safe sausage making”

[@anthonysmith132]

I gotta say..That elk hash looked amazing! I could eat that every morning.

[@nmysights0185]

I'm gonna remember this video in the morning, and it's really gonna take the luster out of my microwaved oatmeal. Love these cooking specials. Seeing the kind of amazing meals you can make with wild game is what has rekindled my interest in hunting. I've never actually killed an animal before, but I hope to change that this spring turkey season. Hopefully I'll get to try out some of the recipes I've seen on this show for myself with my own wild turkey. It's gonna be a long couple of months waiting for opening day.

[@bambus_ross]

"I always practice safe sausage making" cracked me up hahaha

[@evega312]

I don't know what I find more impressive. His hunting or cooking skills.

[@thewoodsytype7243]

Steve has definitely became my new favorite outdoorsmen to watch over the years. He's humble and you can tell the outdoors is a huge part of his life. He's doing it right.

[@thewoodsytype7243]

These cooking specials are damn near my favorite to watch.

[@ajoebo9095]

Rinella is blessed with having the rare talent not only in the doing but n the teaching as well. Always a joy watching him in a wilderness and in his kitchen

[@w5glsgary919]

Breakfast beer is a great idea. Nice cabin Steve.

I literally just ate a venison steak and fresh eggs this morning!! Best breakfast ever :)

All those recipes look so delicious after you've cooked them. I remember watching the episode where the moose charged you after you shot it. That was one of my favorite episodes. *glad you didn't get hurt* The other episode, is where a mother bear * she had 3 cubs with her* charged you and another one of your friends. Those are some pretty intense moments. I'm glad no one got hurt.

Love that he enjoys a breakfast beer too

I would pay to see Gordon Ramsey and Steve do a collab

[@mattvanderwiel9058]

Why hasn’t this happened already.

[@philiphahn6086]

Eh I can't see it, just cause I don't see their personalitys meshing

[@Wannabanana17]

Or J Kenji Lopez Alt for something a little less frantic.

[@user-yn2ru2ep1j]

I’d love to see Steve collaborate with a chef with integrity. Gordon Ramsay is a douche bag. A good cook? Sure. A successful businessman? Absolutely. But he’s a shit human being and would have nothing worth contributing. Fuck him.

[@bakamonkeyfun1593]

@@philiphahn6086 you do realize Chef Ramsay kills his own food and has other people butcher it for him but this guy could do it for Gordon Ramsay. Ramsay could hunt it he could butcher and cure it etc and then Ramsey and him could face off on food styles

[@puprilla]

I would love to see Steve do more fishing and just straight up fish dishes

[@memorris2]

Never gets enough respect as a cook! Steven is the man!

[@SolarIceSessions]

My family always called that particular breakfast (Toad in the hole, Hen in the nest, etc.) Elephants Eye.

[@rabbithomesteading3797]

You Steven, are a teacher! I love the hunting and also the cook teaching you are doing! And if you dont hunt the cooking can probably work with store bought meat even. I love it all! TY

[@smeagold4valve]

deer steaks for dinner last night. homemade bacon BLT's this morn. whippin up some moose chops and mushroom/shallot cream sauce tonight.. 2020 season was good!!! and yup.. breakfast beers are the best..

[@claytonbrock2464]

I had seared duck breast and duck dressing for my supper. @ be ghjy how does moose compare to deer I have never had a chance to try it?

[@markschade6951]

I'll be honest I almost like watching Steve cook more than I do him hunting! It'd be awesome to see him hunting and cooking with Gordon Ramsay or something.

[@bikesbees9392]

Ramsay never will as much class as Steve... I would never let him in my kitchen, Steve could come anytime....

[@triplebeamdreaminful]

@@bikesbees9392 I disagree I think Gordon has class as well. He has a different approach on things and it would be interesting to see both of them cook wild game.

[@mattpastell3728]

I have an elk shoulder in the freezer and I’ve never made made corned elk. And I love the Yukon golds! It’s going to be a great weekend!

Ah, breakfast beer. It's among the finest of the morning beers.

[@hatzlmike1]

Fuck. That is off the chain...that frickin egg thing at the end. It was amazing. Thanks Steven. You are a God

[@Eric-dr5bj]

Scotch eggs are great until you finish one and feel like you are about to have a heart attack from all the fat and protein. Made with a smaller egg such as a quail could be fun.

[@AzraelOfTheDarkAngels]

This made me chuckle... My mom and I always called that egg in the basket!!

[@brodywhitehead2089]

I’ve always stuck to simple things with my wild game meats just because it’s easier but after watching the meat eater cooking specials it’s given me something to look forward to for the upcoming seasons! Love the show Steve and all the work you do.

I really enjoyed this episode. It had me realize that the right recipes and the right techniques can produce outstanding results. Thank you!

[@AlbeeSoaring]

This will be my first year hunting deer and everyone I know that hunts just does loin and grid. Im a foodie at heart so Im loving all your videos on breaking down a deer and now this. I was thinking that maybe deer pastrami could be possible, but Ill have to try a corned venison also.

[@jasonjavelin]

Love seeing Steve experiment!

[@kmose364]

Unbelievable. Breakfast cuisine is totally under appreciated. Love how he went big on his dishes.

[@dankirk3458]

The Scotch egg, paired with your breaky hash and beer is a perfectly balanced dinner for any day of the week! Cheers, ill be making this tomorrow, once the meat has all thawed out!

[@jhones7522]

Happy to see merguez, im from north africa, in my family we use a bit a bit of beef with it to add in some more flavor

[@sethkoertner6107]

Poached egg tip: once you get your boil going, turn the temp back so its barely bubbling, stir the water so its swirling around the pan, then crack and drop the egg into the center of the swirl. That helps keep the whites together instead of splitting up.

[@jaydillon1984]

I really got a kick out of somebody elses family did this, my mom called it a hen in the nest ,and always loved it!!

You are awesome! Thank you for sharing!!

One of my favorite pre-hunt breakfasts is butterfly-cut backstrap, breaded and fried, with eggs. Pancakes are also an option

Great recipes Steve! I love what you do and aspire to be like you but it's hard without a mentor. I'm a good fisherman but hunting is hard with no one to help you. I do learn a lot from you an for that I am grateful.

I just ate an elk burger and I’d say it’s better than beef. That taste is perfectly unique!

[@darthvodka101]

little tip for anyone who wants to try and make poached eggs. Stir the water before putting the eggs in. it will center the yolk inside the white and get rid of all the little wispies youll get from the white.

[@09leemckenna16]

trick to soft boiled eggs put the burner on high and just set your timer for 11-12 mins takes about 5-6 mins to bring it to boil, (i eat soft boiled eggs everyday)

[@tylanway5450]

Steve you are a master of media. I love your podcasts, books and KZbin I haven't found your tv wizardry yet, I assume you actually grab a "reaping" device. (wait he isn't going to read this.) I'm scared of a moose but If I had a gun my first premonition wouldn't be to run......I am going to shoot truer than ever b/c I know I have 1 shot. Sorry for interrupting . Always fascinated by the width of Steve's outdoorsman interviews from mushrooms to acorns, different hunting dogs, cooking too. I listened to a 2 hours segment on how to call turkeys by pursing your lips....I haven't hunted turkeys even once. Michigan multitasker. My last touchpoint, i haven't had the nerve to try to make a scotch egg bc its crazy to wrap an egg into a sausage but that combines the best of favorites! Keep kicking ass. Steve shot ball bearings outta his mouth to attack his brother and Steve lost.

super interesting, in the UK when we refer to 'toad in the hole' we are talking about sausages that are cooked inside a giant yorkshire pudding! on a different note, i dont even know what wild game there is in the UK as we did a very 'good' job of getting rid of a lot of it, so we have some very nice landscapes, just nothind big living in them
