Kangaroo steaks.............

[Donnie Darko]

Kangaroo isn't farm raised but hunted for commercial purposes such as steaks, etc...but under a careful eye of the Australian government. If you grill it, don't grill it to well done or even medium-well done. I tried a steak tonight at medium well and I thought I was gonna choke from the dryness. I had no idea they were as lean of meat as they were. Are there any aussies here that know how to grill kangaroo without it being too dry?

I would imagine it depends on what part of the kangaroo you were eating. I would think kangaroo and venison would be pretty close to each other for leanness. My old roommate use to hunt every deer season and at one time we had about 70lbs of venison in our freezer, all different cuts of meat. I had some cuts that were just terrible, but a good venison loin cooked medium rare over indirect heat or broiled...was like butter.

Donnie i would imagine it depends on the type of cut you had and i would definitely cook it over indirect heat. I prefer any loin/fillet mignon broiled. If its about 3 inches thick cook about 6 minutes on one side and 8 on the other for medium rare under the broiler and don't use the top rack, lower the top rack one notch in the oven.

I'm on ausie - grill it on a george foreman, but use alfoil to keep in juices, and only grill for a couple of minutes.

Otherwise, spray EVOO on pan and grill it that way.

It's <2% fat, so the little bit of EVOO isn't going to hurt

kangaroo is the leanest red meat available i believe

iv found hanging it a bit longer than beef/lamb helps with tenderness
marinating obviously is a plus
steaks must not be cooked any more than medium rare
in winter its also excellent in a slow cooked stew

speaking of which i must go and refill my freezer

I Have never had the steak, but I use the mince everyday.
Ive also used those family roast things, where the roo is wrapped in that string stuff. And it was covered in suace and i was still quite dry and very tough.

Id say if you can cook it in an oven somehow wrapped in foil, itll go good, nice n juicy.

I might give this a shot in the slow cooker for a pot roast.

I find that the mince is the easiest to cook with. You can do meat balls, spaghetti sauce, meatloaf. Also the sausages you can get are awesome. I live on kangaroo, on diet and when bulking.
