Sautéed reindeer (Finnish:poronkäristys[ˈporonˌkæristys],Swedish:renskav,Norwegian:finnbiff,Northern Sami:báistebiđus) is perhaps the best known traditional meal fromSápmi in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Russia andSakha. Usually steak or the back of thereindeer is used. It is sliced thinly (usually while the meat is still frozen so that it is easier to cut through), fried in fat (traditionally in reindeer fat, but butter and oil are more common nowadays), and spiced withblack pepper andsalt. Finally, some water, cream, or beer is added, and it is cooked until tender. The dish is served withmashed potatoes andlingonberry preserves or, more traditionally, with raw lingonberries mashed with sugar. In Finland, the meat is often served withpickled cucumber,[1] which is not as common in Sweden.
