Reindeer meat is fantastic choice for grilling. It is not the cheapest type of venison, but worth of cook every time. This time I bought 2 \u00bd lb (1100g) box of reindeer cutlets.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\nRangifer tarandus tarandus<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>is called Reindeer in Europe and Caribou in North America. There are number of species of reindeer but my cutlets were from Mountain Reindeer. That is the most common species in Finland.<\/p>\n There are roughly 2.000.000 Reindeers in the whole world. 200.000 of them live in Lapland in area covering more than one third of Finland. As a comparison, number of cattle in Finland is 900.000 so Reindeer is not very common in every shop. This box of reindeer cutlets came from special shop called\u00a0<\/span>Polarica<\/a>.<\/p>\n Method<\/strong><\/p>\n Grilling of reindeer cutlets is pretty simple. Season with salt and black pepper only. If you feel adventurous, you might put some rosemary or thyme also.<\/p>\n Heat your grill up to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C) and place cutlets on the grate directly above hot coals.<\/span><\/p>\n
