Pear And Red Wine Glazed Kangaroo Fillet Or Beef With Macadami Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the cippolini onions: Slice off the root end of the cippolinis. Put the cippolinis on a sheet pan and bake for 10 minutes in their skins. Remove from the oven, allow to come to room temperature, peel and reserve.
• For the beef tenderloin: Tie the beef tenderloin and season it generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, then the tenderloin. Sear in the skillet on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Arrange the onions, garlic, thyme and carrots around the beef and add 2 tablespoons butter. Transfer to the oven and roast until the internal temperature registers 125 degrees F, about 15 minutes.
• Remove the tenderloin from the skillet and let rest. Add 1 cup each of the beef stock and wine to the vegetables, along with the cippolini onions, and bring to a simmer, basting the vegetables occasionally. Cook until the liquid begins to reduce and thicken, about 15 minutes. Remove and reserve the carrots and cippolini onions and strain the liquid into a clean medium saucepan.
• Add the remaining beef stock and red wine to the liquid in the saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until it reaches a glaze-like consistency, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce the heat and, while whisking, add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk until the butter is fully absorbed and the glaze has a nice sheen. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cut tenderloin in half and submerge each piece in the red wine glaze, coating well. Remove beef, take off string and slice into 1-inch pieces. Arrange sliced beef on a platter and top with the reserved carrots, cippolini onions and watercress.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large heavy-based pan.
• Season the meat with pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side (for medium rare) or until cooked to desired doneness. Remove meat from the pan to a plate and cover with foil.
• 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.

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

Steps:

• Mix the cooking oil and salt on a plate and coat the fillet with the mixture.
• 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.
• Serve the fillet with the sauce and a green salad.

Steps:

• Combine wine, oil, vinegar, tomato paste, mustard, garlic and sugar in bowl, combine well.
• Place in dish with meat to marinate for 2 hours, turning occasionally.

• Stir remaining sauce into pan juices.
• Serve meat with the pan juices.
