Norwegian Moose Steaks with Forest Mushroom Sauce

Usenet Recipe

Moose Steaks
700-800	grams	Moosemeat (leg)
3	tbsp	Fresh thyme
2	tsp	Butter
		Salt
		Pepper

Sauce
2		Shallots
30	grams dried	or 200 grams fresh forest mushrooms
4	tbsp	Olive oil
0.4	liter	Red wine
0.8	liter	Stock
1	tbsp	Parsley
1	tbsp	Chives
40	grams	Butter

• Part the meat into steaks - 180-200 grams each.
• Chop thyme, and put on steaks with salt and pepper. Fry the steaks on both sides in butter for 2-3 minutes. They should by now have a pink centre. Let the steaks rest before serving.

  SAUCE:

• Chop onions and fry in olive oil with (coarsely chopped) mushrooms. Pour red wine over, and let reduce until about 25% is left. Add stock and reduce until about half is left.
• Whip in butter, and add salt and pepper to taste. Chop parsley and chives, and add right before serving.
• Serve with butter-steamed root vegetables. The rich red wine and mushroom sauce should go perfectly with the moosemeat.
