Preparation:
1. Season the Steak: Generously season the bear steak slices with salt and pepper.
2. Sear the Steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear the steak slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and sliced bell peppers. Sauté until softened and fragrant.
4. Deglaze the Pan: Pour the vegetable broth, red wine, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, thyme, and rosemary into the skillet. Scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits.
5. Simmer the Sauce: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
6. Return the Steak: Add the seared bear steak back to the skillet, coating it with the flavorful sauce. Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the steak is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
