Forget Philly: Locals and tourists chow down on moose and reindeer cheesesteaks in northern Sweden

Stejk Street Food in Kiruna serves about 500 Arctic cheesesteaks weekly using 220 pounds of moose and 110 pounds of reindeer meat to satisfy locals and tourists.

  • Locals and visitors in Kiruna are sampling Arctic cheesesteaks piled with moose and reindeer at Stejk Street Food, a Kiruna food truck modeled on the Philly cheesesteak by founders Zebastian Bohman and Cecilia Abrahamsson.
  • The relocation stems from the world's largest underground iron-ore mine threatening Kiruna, Sweden, prompting thousands to watch Kiruna Church move five kilometres east last week.
  • Each week, Stejk goes through 100 kilograms of ground moose and 50 kilograms of specialty smoked reindeer for about 500 cheesesteaks and 500 meat-and-fries orders, with a regular-size Arctic cheesesteak costing 245 Swedish krona.
  • As Kiruna relocated, hundreds of spectators who watched the Kiruna Church move dined at Stejk, reflecting strong local demand and supporting the business during the event.
  • The menu's reindeer element honors the Sami Indigenous people's herding tradition, while employees of Stejk Street Food wore provocative shirts and tourists including Anna Capoccia praised the sweeter, less gamey taste.
