Ok so I spent last night experimenting with Kangaroo, I'm buying it to replace processed meats and its cheaper then really good cuts of steak, plus better for you as its typically like crazy high in protein and super low in fat :)
If you can get your hands on it or another good game meat give this recipe a go, cause I've been a steak eater all my life and I'm blown away by the taste of Kangaroo. Sadly its a meat you can screw up really easy too, so follow these instructions when cooking it and you will be sweet.
When cooking Game meat, Kangaroo, Venison, Bison etc... Its very important to let the meat stand for a while after cooking and allow its own retained heat to keep cooking it. Thats how you get the really nice warm juicy centers :)
Ingredients
------
250g Kangaroo fillet (or any game meat)
Marinade
2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
-----
1. Combine marinade ingredients
2. Let meat marinade over night in fridge (I did 4 steaks today this way and have them in the freezer after about 2 hrs of marinading)
Cooking (this is the important bit)
-------
Heat frying pan, add a few splashes of extra virgin olive oil, do not allow oil to smoke, if it does your running to hot.
Throw your steaks in the pan when oil is hot, (but not smoking hot), cook for
2-3 minutes either side for (Medium rare)
3-4 minutes either side for (Medium)
Turn only once!
"You never ever want to go beyond Medium done for game meat, you will make it taste like ass :P "
Remove from frying pan, and turn off the heat source, wrap steaks in tin foil, allow steaks to sit for 5-6 minutes on the stove you just cooked on or in frying pan you just used, the ambient heat will help push all the juices to the middle and the meat will stay hot as it tenderizes from the low heat.
Consume!
Seriously, you won't believe how tasty this meat is till you try it and cook it like above. You can also ditch the marinade and just cook it the same way as I described, just use a bit more oil as game meat can get a bit smokey.
