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!

• Heat a fry pan over a medium heat.
• Fry the fillet on one side until droplets of pink juice form on the surface.
• Turn the fillet and repeat the process, then remove it from the pan and cover it with foil or a saucepan lid while you are making the sauce.
• Crush the peppercorns roughly and place them in the hot pan.
• Pour the water into the pan and stir to deglaze the pan and incorporate the remaining juices.
• Mix the cornflour with a little water and stir it into the sauce, a little at a time, until the sauce thickens.

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

• Deglaze the pan with the red wine and pear juice. Add the pears and jelly and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes or until sauce is a glaze consistency. Return kangaroo and add the macadamias to the pan. Coat in the glaze.
• Serve the meat sliced with the remaining glaze spooned over and and around the plate.
