Reindeer steak

Ingredients

Steak

  • reindeer meat (Cut as minute steaks. Venison is the closest substitute.)
  • salt
  • pepper
  • juniper berries, crushed

Sauce

  • a little blue cheese
  • cream
  • cornflour (cornstarch)
  • redcurrant jelly

Method

Steak

  1. It is best as minute steaks: thin slices cooked very briefly.
  2. Season with salt, pepper and crushed juniper berries.
  3. Fry in a very hot pan for about 1 minute on each side, then let the meat rest briefly.

Sauce

  1. For the sauce, put the cream and a little blue cheese in the pan, season the same way as the meat (salt, pepper, juniper) and bring to the boil.
  2. Thicken with cornflour mixed with a little cold water, and sweeten with redcurrant jelly.
