Reindeer Steak

About the dish

Reinsdyr mørbrad is a traditional game meat dish originating from Norway. The dish consists of reindeer steaks that are fried or grilled to perfection, usually in reindeer fat, butter, and oil. The meat of domesticated and farmed reindeer is lean, and the flavor is mild, pleasant, and not gamey at all. The steaks are usually seasoned with salt and pepper and served medium rare, and the texture shouldn't be chewy or heavy as is often the case with game meats. However, sometimes there's a slightly metallic taste. The meat is usually served with lingonberries, carrots, boiled new potatoes, or mashed potatoes on the side.
