Sautéed reindeer

Sautéed reindeer

Sautéed reindeer ("poronkäristys" in Finnish) is the perhaps best known traditional meal from Lapland, especially in Finland. Usually steak or back of reindeer is used. It is sliced thinly (easier if frozen and then only partially thawed), fried in fat (traditionally in reindeer fat, but butter and oil are more common nowadays), spiced with black pepper and salt, and finally some water or beer is added. Served with mashed potatoes, pickled cucumbers, and cowberry preserve or, more traditionally, with raw cowberries mashed with sugar.
