An amazingly flavoursome dish. People who normally don't like the flavour of roo will like this one. The meat is wonderfully tender and the gravy rich. If roo isn't available use beef, which the CSIRO recipe originally used. A good full-bodied wine is required. Australian measurements used.

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Combine wine, chives, garlic and onion in bowl. Add kangaroo meat, toss until coated. cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Remove meat from marinade, drain. Reserve marinade.
  • Heat oil in pan; add meat. Cook over high heat 2 minutes to seal sides, turning. For rare meat, cook 2 more minutes. For medium meat, reduce heat to medium, continue cooking for 3 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose a high-quality kangaroo steak that is well-marbled and has a deep red color.
  • Trim any excess fat from the steak, but leave a small amount of fat on the edges to help keep it moist during cooking.
  • Marinate the steak in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Season the steak with salt and pepper just before cooking.
  • Sear the steak in a hot pan over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
