Sautéed Game
Tender red deer is browned in butter with onion and simmered in broth. Serve with lingonberries and potatoes.
Ingredients
- 500 g red deer meat, thinly sliced often found in the frozen section
- 1 onion
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 dl meat broth
- wild mushrooms optional
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp all-purpose flour
To serve
- fresh thyme
- lingonberry jam
Instructions
- Thaw the frozen meat until partly frozen. Peel the onion and dice it very finely.
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a pot over medium heat and fry the chopped onion until golden. Turn the heat up and add the meat slices. Fry until the meat takes on some color. Dust the meat lightly with flour and season with salt and pepper.
- Add the broth and let it simmer gently, covered, for about 45 minutes. If you use mushrooms, add them toward the end of the simmering.
- Garnish with fresh thyme and serve with lingonberry jam and creamy potatoes or rice.
Notes
- Partly frozen slices stay separate and brown better.
- If your pot is small, brown the meat in two batches.
- Taste before serving and add salt if needed. Broths vary in saltiness.
- If you use reindeer, simmer it a little longer.
