Ingredients

  • 800g Pokka Reindeer Osso Buco

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • Salted butter

  • Extra virgin olive oil

  • Optional: Fresh rosemary sprigs

Directions

  • Remove the tenderloin from the refrigerator and let it reach room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • Pat dry with paper towels. Generously season all sides with black pepper.
  • Heat a skillet on high with a drizzle of olive oil and a generous knob of butter. Once the oil begins to smoke lightly, add rosemary sprigs and stir briefly.
  • Immediately add the tenderloin. Using a spoon, baste the steak continuously with the butter-oil mixture for 1 minute without moving it.
  • Flip the steak and repeat the basting for another minute.
  • Wrap the steak in foil and let it rest for 3–5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with coarse sea salt or kosher salt before serving.

  • Chef’s Tip:
    Reindeer tenderloin is best enjoyed medium-rare to medium. Overcooking will compromise its tenderness and subtle game flavour.
