Moose steaks with cream sauce

You need:

Elk steaks

  • 500 g minced veal (elk)
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2 potatoes (cooked)
  • 1/2 dl cream
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • Pepper 
  • Timyan
  • butter

Cream sauce

  • 4.5 dl of cream
  • 2 felt base
  • 1 tbsp blackcurrant jelly 
  • 1/2 tbsp soy
  • butter
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Do this:

Grate the potatoes (cooked the night before) with a grater into the mince and add the cream. Mix everything in a bowl and leave until the mince reaches room temperature.

Roll large meatballs, flatten them and place them on a plate. Add a generous knob of butter to the cast iron pan. Once the butter has settled in the pan, add the steaks and brown a nice surface. Place them in a pan in the oven (175 degrees) and continue cooking them until they are ready (internal temperature 56 degrees).

While you're making the elk steaks, start the cream sauce: bring the cream to the boil while stirring with 2 ice cubes of game stock, blackcurrant jelly, 2 pinches of salt and half a tablespoon of soy. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes to reduce it by a third. If you want a thicker sauce, stir some wheat flour (1 tbsp) with butter into the pan from the start. Season to taste with salt and a little pepper.

Dice the boiled potatoes and fry them in a pan in the oven. Season with a little thyme.

Serve with raw lingonberries and chopped chives.

Good luck!
