Reinsdyrstek, or reindeer roast, is a traditional dish in Norway, particularly popular during festive seasons. It reflects the country's rich hunting culture and connection to nature. Often served with seasonal vegetables, it showcases the flavors of the Arctic landscape. Hasselback potatoes, with their crispy edges and soft interior, complement the roast beautifully. This dish has gained popularity beyond Norway, especially in regions with a strong Nordic influence.

Reindeer Roast with Hasselback Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs reindeer meat (or venison)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 4 large potatoes
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. 2In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  3. 3Rub the marinade all over the reindeer meat and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  4. 4In a large oven-safe skillet, sear the marinated reindeer meat over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
  5. 5Pour the beef broth into the skillet with the meat and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and cooked to your desired doneness.
  6. 6While the meat is roasting, prepare the Hasselback potatoes. Slice each potato thinly, about 1/8 inch apart, without cutting all the way through.
  7. 7Place the sliced potatoes on a baking sheet, brush them with melted butter, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  8. 8Bake the potatoes in the oven for about 45 minutes, or until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  9. 9Once the reindeer roast is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  10. 10Serve the sliced reindeer roast alongside the Hasselback potatoes, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
