About Finnbiff
Matprat presents finnbiff within the Sámi food tradition and offers this creamy reindeer rendition for both everyday and festive meals. Thin pieces of reindeer sit among mushrooms and bacon.
Sour cream, milk and Norwegian goat cheese give the sauce its rich dairy character. Juniper berries and dried thyme provide aroma, with salt and pepper completing the seasoning.
Fresh thyme finishes the plate. Boiled potatoes and stirred lingonberries are suggested accompaniments, with broccoli offered as an additional vegetable beside the substantial meat and sauce.
