KANGAROO DISHES

Kangaroo Steaks

It may sound strange, but believe us they are tasty!!!

Just as Ostrich has been previously described in this book as a low cholesterol, low fat red meat, one can describe Kangaroo in exactly the same way. Although each meat has its place and we personally cook and eat them all, those looking to avoid high fat content in their meals will do well to try Kangaroo.

Method

Always cut across the grain and ensure your steak is at least a finger width deep. Heat some olive oil until hot in a wide base pan, and in the meantime sprinkle the steaks liberally with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper (both sides).

Take the steaks and place in the pan - remember the golden rule for low fat meats is NOT to overcook them. Sear each side and then turn down the heat and cook evenly each side until the meat feels slightly firm to pressure in the centre. If preferred, check by making a small incision in the centre of the steak - no fat will be lost of course - and serve nice and pink if possible. (Rare is just fine!!).... on a bed of mixed rocket and watercress leaves ... mmmm! If you like a little more sophistication, deglaze the pan with a little red wine and some sliced button mushrooms, and pour the sauce over the steaks prior to serving.
Srir Fry Kangaroo with Black Beans and Chillies
Ingredients

400g Kangaroo fillet, trimmed and sliced into thin strips
1 bag baby Bok Choy, washed
2 tsp birdseye Chillies, chopped
1 tsp shallots, chopped
1 tsp Garlic cloves, chopped
1 tsp fresh Ginger, chopped
25ml Chinese Rice Wine
1 tbsp Black Beans, washed and drained
150ml Light Beef Stock
50ml Soy sauce
1 tsp Fish sauce
1 tsp freshly ground pepper

Instructions

Trim the bok choy leaves and slice larger ones in half lengthways, leaving stalks attached. Heat some oil in a large wok then add the shallots, ¾ of the chillies, ¾ of the garlic and ginger and saute quickly for 30 seconds until aromatic. Add the rice wine and reduce until it thickens. Then add the black beans, stock, soy sauce, and bring it to the boil. Cook for five minutes then take off heat and set aside.

Heat some oil in a clean wok then add the remaining garlic and chillies and then kangaroo strips. Toss quickly for a few seconds over high heat. Add the warm sauce and the bok choy leaves. Cook quickly for a few seconds until the bok choy leaves are wilted, for one minute only. Season with the fish sauce and freshly ground black pepper. Pile onto centre of plate and serve immediately with rice or noodles.
