Kangaroo Steaks
with Red Wine Sauce

Kangaroo Steaks


1 cup good-quality dry red wine
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 small onion, finely chopped
500g loin kangaroo fillet or 4 kangaroo fillet steaks
1 tablespoon oil
½ cup cream

Preparation time: 20 minutes + 
2 hours marinating
Total cooking time:10 minutes

Serves 4




  1. 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.


  2. 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.)


  3. 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.

  4. Slice cooked fillets thinly and serve with warm sauce. Serve with mashed sweet potato and steamed sugar snap peas.

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.
