Kangaroo With Shiraz Butter Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Trim kangaroo of sinew and halve lengthwise. Reserve trimmings for later. Season olive oil with salt and pepper. Rub over each fillet, then cover and chill for 1 hour.
• Start Shiraz Butter sauce and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 200°C.
• Heat a non-stick frying pan over high heat and seal fillets on both sides quickly, until browned. Transfer to a oven-proof pan and roast for 8 minutes. Remove from oven, cover with tin foil and let rest about 10 minutes in a warm place.
• Meanwhile , melt the butter in a frying pan until it starts to foam slightly. Add spinach in all at once. As it starts to wilt add lemon juice and season to taste.
• Mound spinach onto warm serving plates, top with sliced kangaroo. Spoon sauce around and drizzle a bit over the steak.
• Shiraz Butter Sauce: Melt butter and oil in a wide suace pan. Add vegetables and meat trimmings. Stir over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add wine, stock, water and simmer for 20 minutes or until only about 1/2 cup liquid remains. Strain and set aside.
• Once fillets come out of the oven, heat the reserved sauce and add cooking juices from roasting pan. Whisk in the extra butter slowly until emulsified.

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
