Zart gebraten – Rehrücken richtig zubereiten
Venison saddle is particularly tender, making it popular, but also delicate to prepare. It turns out best when seared all over and then gently cooked in a preheated oven at around 120°C. The ideal internal temperature is 54–56°C, keeping the meat juicy and pink inside.
Before roasting, the meat should be at room temperature for about 30 minutes to ensure even cooking. If possible, use a meat thermometer to ensure the meat is perfectly cooked.
Season the venison saddle with salt, pepper, some juniper, fresh thyme or ourGame spiceto bring out the delicate flavor of the game. A sauce made from game stock, red wine, and shallots harmoniously rounds off the dish.
Classic spaetzle, potato dumplings, creamy Brussels sprouts, or dumplings are perfect side dishes. Tip: Let the meat rest for about 5 minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute evenly.
