I love reindeer meat.

What kind are you cooking? Whole steak? Fillets? Shavings?

I don't know how it would be for Reindeer, but I like to marinate my Elk roasts in red cooking wiine, Thyme, Oregano, onions, green peppers and other spices overnight. I pop that in the oven the next day, slow cook it for about 5 hours, and it comes out tender and juicy without that wild meat taste. Serve it with a beef gravy and mashed potatoes and all of a sudden you'll discover friends you never had.

Googling "Deer Meat Recipe" comes up with lots and lots of ideas. Do you think Reindeer would be that much different in preparation than White Tail?

I would'nt think so. Although, most white tails where I live like to eat sage. I don't use sage because of that. I try to balance the sage with thyme.
A good way to just cook plain old Reindeer steaks should'nt be any different than Elk or Beef I would think. You should try to find out where the game came from, therefore, you can assume or google what sort of vegatation it ate. And go from there, eliminating whatever kind of spicy plant it ate in its terrain.

BTW, what do you guys think of this one:

TRADITIONAL SAUTEED REINDEER
50 g of butter or oil
400 g of reindeer meat
0,5 dl of water or beer
salt
black pepper
(crushed garlic)
Melt the butter in a pot. Put the frozen meat into the pot. Cover the pot with a lid. Let the meat thaw out. Turn it a couple of times. When the liquid has evaporated, add the crushed carlic, salt and pepper. Allow the meat to brown some more. Turn it carefully. Add the liquid. Put the lid on and let the meat simmer for about 30 minutes. Serve the hot meat from the pot with buttered potatoes and cranberries.

So i ate it yesterday, is it supposed to have all that wiry stuff in it, or was it done wrong? I gave him the recipe i posted, but i don't know if he followed it, he also made some other meat in the same pot...

And no garlic, but wasabi mixed with yoghurt to make it more creamy....
