Perfect amount of everything. 😁

[@mewtube7528]

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

[@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

[@VictorKrese16]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@zebical]

That scotch egg looks incredible!

[@lifewithliam7501]

I’ve been watching Meateater longer than my dads been at the store

[@Txderek]

oooof. i felt that. Don't worry, im with you. I'm waiting for daddy rinella to back from the fish shack to make breakfast for me and mom.

[@Redbird1504]

[@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.

[@anthonysmith132]

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

[@evega312]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

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. 👍😁

The “safe sausage making” crack was pretty funny too lol

[@bullgravy6906]

I’ve watched this dude tumble a bear down a mountainside, get body slammed by a moose, clap a carp with a bow, and gently Pat dry a poached egg. This guy outranges his own .300 win mag.

[@w5glsgary919]

Breakfast beer is a great idea. Nice cabin Steve.

[@big4jake112]

That egg in the bread is what we call a “spit in the eye”.

[@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.

[@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.

[@dannystephens9056]

I'm 40 and been hunting my hole life, I through I new everything about wild game . Boy was I wrong!!!! You and rhe king !!!

[@driva1212]

The only person in the world interesting enough to say bear with me without saying pun unattended

[@stephenwatts2879]

You watch Wilderness Cooking with that Chef from Slavic country. Good for you! I see your 2 recipes are so similar. But he always cooks outdoors for the children in his village!!! Cool beans ! SUPER!!!

[@kempire4623]

The scotch egg has always blown my mind how that is possible. Thank you for running through that one. The egg inside toast is a staple with the kids too. We call it eggy in a basket.

[@lakodahuff6653]

Fun fact, the bull elk he killed in Kentucky, was actually took about 10 miles from where I live. There was about 100-150 elk took from 5 miles out of cove, Oregon.

[@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?

[@memorris2]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@lynnroberge1886]

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.

[@despair268]

20:31 now we're talking Steve.

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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!

[@juanito5048]

Breakfast by far my favorite meal of the day, and this wild game breakfast looks fantastic,

[@jaywethington1934]

I don't think I've ever seen someone promote a breakfast beer. Steve is quickly becoming my hero. Lol

[@dakotaracebrown]

Growing up as a kid. We ALWAYS ate Deer with pancakes/waffles. We ALWAYS cut Deer meat into 1 inch x 2 inch stips. Then salt and coat in flour. Fry on a skillet.

[@kmose364]

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

[@TheGuanche88]

I love this channel. Not even because of the hunting itself, but because of your appreciation for nature and also how to use the meat you harvested the best way.

[@fullsquish]

These cooking episodes are great Steve. Thanks a bunch!

[@ROESPLETZ]

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

[@robertarguello1115]

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

[@SolarIceSessions]

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

[@poya6986]

this has got to be the best cooking video ive ever seen on youtube

[@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.

[@thomassmith5224]

Could be very interesting. One provides the raw products and the other cooks them to perfection. Match made in heaven

[@DestroBB]

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

[@thefatarcher561]

60% of the breakfasts I make are with deer sausage, that I make each year after Hunting is complete. I like the thought of bear bacon. Will have to try this spring if I am lucky enough to get another bear.

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]

@@Murftree74 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

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

[@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.

“Egg in a hole” is what my family called it. We do scotch eggs with a hard boiled egg then wrap in aluminum foil and take with us to hunting camp. Throw them over heat in foil to warm them up and they are an awesome snack/meal.
