Looking for a good recipe for this. I have 2-3 pounds of meat. Never messed with gator before. Should I boil it first before cooking? TIA

Cooked one last Saturday. No need to boil meat. Here's my recipe based on 4#'s of dark gator meat:

Make a roux combining 1 1/2 cup oil with 1 1/2 to 2 cups flour.
Once roux is dark brown in color, remove about 90% from your black iron pot, leaving only a little left behind. Add gator meat in pot to brown for about 10 minutes. Dice 1 or 2 onions, 1 or 2 bell peppers, 1 clove garlic, 2 celery stocks, and green onion. Add all vegetable to pot with meat still in. Cook down veggies to preference. Add 2 quarts of beef stock or water with beef cubes. Bring to boil for 10 minutes. Add seasoning of choice (I used salt, black pepper, cayenne, thyme, and bay leaves). At this point, add 2 cans of rotel and bring fire down to medium heat. At this point, begin adding roux back to pot to bring it to the thickness of your preference. Let cook on low-medium heat for 2-3 hours and enjoy over egg noodles!
