Where it comes fromHaunch

On the grill

A reindeer haunch tapers noticeably, so the thin end will always finish before the thick end. Tie it into a more even shape first if you can.

Reverse sear works well: gentle indirect heat until close to target, then a hard sear for colour just before it comes off.
