About Stensaas
Stensaas Reinsdyrslakteri is located between Røros and Brekken and started out trading reindeer around 1890. Today the company is run by the third generation of the Stensaas family and is one of Norway’s largest and most modern reindeer slaughterhouses. Stensaas works with South Sámi reindeer herders, and the reindeer graze in clean natural areas in the mountains. All slaughter and production takes place under strict hygiene requirements with a HACCP system for food safety.
Benefits
- Norwegian reindeer from the Røros region
- Fat cap for flavour and juiciness
- Cooked like a steak
- From a family-run slaughterhouse with over 100 years of history
How we recommend cooking it
- Fat side first: Place the culotte fat side down in a hot pan with a generous knob of Røros butter. Sear over high heat until the fat cap is golden and crisp, basting the meat with the browned butter as it cooks.
- Meat side, quickly: Turn the piece and give the meat side a short, fast sear over high heat. Reindeer is lean and is at its best when it isn’t overcooked.
- Rest: Let the meat rest for a few minutes before slicing it against the grain.
Tip: Score a shallow crosshatch pattern in the fat cap before cooking, without cutting into the meat. The fat then renders more evenly and turns extra crisp.
Uses
- Steak in the pan or on the grill
- Festive dinner with Norwegian game
