4 tbsp olive oil
3 bay leaves
1 gallon water
salt and pepper
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 cups long grain white rice
1 c milk

rub the raw steak with a little olive oil then salt and pepper well. In a large frying pan heat olive oil  and scald the steaks and get a nice crust on the outside of them. In a large soup pot add gallon of water the beef base and the moose steaks that you browned. Add bay leaves and salt and pepper and let steaks come to a boil in this water then turn down to medium high and cover the pot. Let this stew away for about 1 hour.
Then remove the steaks from the water and set aside to cool off a bit. Then chop the steak into bit size pieces.  Reduce the water to 4 cups in the soup pot. The extra water set aside in a pot for the gravy keep it hot on medium high we will return to it soon to make the gravy. Make sure to remove the bay leaves and dispose of them.
Add the 2 cups of rice to the soup pot and bring to a boil then reduce to medium high and cook till done and water has evaporated.
In the skillet where we browned the meat we heat up on medium high we need about 3 tbsp of oil in here for the gravy. Add about 2 tbsp of flour gradually whisking in the flour. Be careful not to get the flour to thick it needs to stay somewhat creamy when whisking. Quickly add about 1/2 tsp of salt and flour while cooking this rue. You will see the flour start to brown this is cooking the flour and absorbing the flavors of the steaks we browned before. After 3 or 4 minutes the rue is cooked gather it with your whisk and add it to the hot water set aside for the gravy. Make sure the water is boiling and  stir vigorusly add milk about 1 cup if you like a creamy gravy. Bring this back to a boil stirring constantly for a couple of minutes then when thick, remove from heat. You are now ready to serve. First your rice then chopped steak and smother with the thick gravy. Enjoy.
