Method

3. In the same pan as the meat was seared, add the Madeira, shallot and garlic. Boil for 5 minutes, or until reduced and syrupy.
4. Add the veal stock and any juices that may have drained from the resting meat. Cook for a further 5-10 minutes, until reduced by one third. Strain through a sieve into a clean pan. Adjust seasoning with the salt, pepper and lemon juice.
5. Meanwhile, heat the oil for the stir-fry in a large saucepan or wok. Add the sprouts, stirring all the time. Cook for 1 minute.
6. Stir in the garlic and spring onions. Cook for a further minute.
7. Add the chestnuts and cranberries. Add the honey, and season with the lemon juice, salt and pepper.
8. Slice the reindeer and serve straight away with the sprout stir fry.
