Kangaroo Steaks Recipes

KANGAROO STEAKS IN RED WINE SAUCE

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. (If using steaks cook for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally.) **Note: Kangaroo meat has a very low fat content and will become dry if overcooked. Cook it to rare or medium stage only and leave for a few minutes before serving. This will produce tender, juicy kangaroo meat.**
• Remove meat from pan. Cover and keep warm. Add reserved marinade and cream to pan juices, bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered 3 minutes or until sauce has reduced and thickened. Return meat to heated sauce in pan if further cooking/warming required - do not re-fry or heat in microwave!!
• Slice cooked fillets thinly and serve with warm sauce. Suggestion: Serve with mashed (or crushed sweet) potato and fresh vegetables

MARINATED KANGAROO FILLETS

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix everything together except for the sour cream. Place kangaroo fillets in mixture and coat well. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and let marinate for at least 4 hours, turning fillets every so often. When first coming up with this recipe I marinated mine for 14 hours :).
• After marinating. Melt some butter in a hot frying pan and cook fillets for about 8 minutes on each side or to your preferred cookedness. (Depending also on the thickness of the fillets).
• Once fillets have cooked, pour the remaining marinade into the frying pan and bring to the boil, stirring constantly. Add the sour cream and mix well. Salt and pepper to taste and spoon over the kangaroo fillets.
• Serve on a bed of mashed potato and some vegies!

CHINESE STYLE BEEF (OR KANGAROO) STEAK

Steps:

• Heat remaining oil in wok and place steaks flat on base - do not stir fry but leave until browned and then turn them to brown on other side (1 to 11/2 minutes each side depending on thickness). Avoid crowding the wok - steak can be cooked in batches and kept warm with onions.
• Once all meat has been cooked, drain off excess oil and add back steak pieces with the previously combined sauce ingredients and cook until the sauce thickens slightly.
• Add back onions and stir to combine.
