Heat Bacon Drippings: In a large skillet, heat the bacon drippings over medium-high heat until sizzling.
-
Brown the Steak: Carefully place the moose steak in the skillet and brown it on both sides, ensuring it’s thoroughly cooked through.

Prepare Sauce Base: Add the bouillon, chopped onion, garlic powder, and tomato paste diluted in water or sherry to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the drippings.
