1
Season the Steaks
Sprinkle the reindeer steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let them rest for 15 minutes at room temperature to enhance the flavor.
2
Sear the Steaks
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the reindeer steaks and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

3
Combine Ingredients
In a small saucepan, combine the lingonberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice.
4
Cook the Sauce
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the lingonberries have burst and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally.
5
Cool and Serve
Once thickened, remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving alongside the sliced reindeer.
