Sautéed reindeer

바이스테비두스

Traditional meal from Lapland and Sakha (Yakutia)

About this dish

Sautéed reindeer is perhaps the best known traditional meal from Sápmi in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Russia and Sakha. Usually steak or the back of the reindeer is used. It is sliced thinly, fried in fat, and spiced with black pepper and salt. Finally, some water, cream, or beer is added, and it is cooked until tender. The dish is served with mashed potatoes and lingonberry preserves or, more traditionally, with raw lingonberries mashed with sugar. In Finland, the meat is often served with pickled cucumber, which is not as common in Sweden.
