Caribou Steak
By Chef Executive Belly David Lauterbach
What the hell is a caribou, and why would you want to eat one? Because you can. Rudolph was a red-nosed caribou, and what an annoying little bastard he was ('She thinks I'm cute'). He deserved to be eaten. Actually , caribou are more commonly known as reindeer. And in a way they are the freaks of the Bambi world, as both males and females have antlers. That should make for an interesting mating party. And we complain about cross dressers.
Ingredients:
16 oz Caribou steak
4 tablespoons of butter
1 chopped onion
2 tablespoons of sherry
2 tablespoons of brandy
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire
3 tablespoons of A-1 steak sauce
1 tablespoon of chopped chives
1 tablespoon of chopped parsley
Salt & pepper
Chop your onion, keeping in mind that you'll probably cry like a baby while doing this. Cook the onions in 2 tablespoons of butter until golden. Pound the caribou steak with a mallet to tenderize. If you don't have a mallet, a claw hammer is fine. That was a joke... do not use a claw hammer. Sear the meat over high heat in the butter & onions, about 2 min on each side should do.
Now add the sherry, A-1 sauce, the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, Worcestershire sauce, chives, parsley, pepper and salt.
Reduce to medium heat and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add the brandy, bring to the table, flame and serve. |
