BBQ Kangaroo Steaks
Contributed by Simon Cotter“Kangaroos provide a lean high-protein steak, are not endangerd and do not damage the enviornment as traditional farm animals do.”
Ingredients
- 1 kilo of kangaroo steak
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 garlic clove
- Ground black pepper
- soy sauce
- Salt to taste
- Snow peas
- baby carrots
- 8 small, washed baby potatoes
- 2 onions
- Sour cream
- Chives
Preparation
Prepare marinade.To one cup of red wine, add crushed garlic, table spoon (generous) of soy sauce, fresh ground black pepper and salt to taste.
Add this to the meat. Allow to rest for about an hour (the meat... not the cook!). More time allows more flavour
In a saucepan/steamer bring water to boil and lightly steam carrots, baby snow peas, and small whole potatoes. Allow to cook until soft.
Whilst vegies are cooking, preheat BBQ plate and add a small amount of good quality olive oil. when vegies are begining to go soft, add onion rings to bbq plate..Cook until brown, or to taste.
When vegies are nearly done:-
Sear steaks quickly on each side, and allow to cook for only a few minutes at most. (Kangaroo steaks are not thick). Individual taste will determine the length of time (rare , medium well done). But do not cook too long or the meat will become tough.
Pour remaining marinade over meat just before serving with steamed vegies. Add a small amount of sour cream and chopped chives.
Best enjoyed under the stars with the remains of the red wine or a cold larger, or even a plain mineral water (sparkling). So be sure to buy a good quality wine. Along with good company and laughter.
