Kangaroo
It may sound strange, but believe us they are tasty!!!
Just
as Ostrich has been previously described in this book as a low
cholesterol, low fat red meat, one can describe Kangaroo in exactly the
same way. Although each meat has its place and we personally cook and
eat them all, those looking to avoid high fat content in their meals
will do well to try Kangaroo.
Method
Always cut across
the grain and ensure your steak is at least a finger width deep. Heat
some olive oil until hot in a wide base pan, and in the meantime
sprinkle the steaks liberally with sea salt and freshly ground black
pepper (both sides).
Take the steaks and place in the pan -
remember the golden rule for low fat meats is NOT to overcook them.
Sear each side and then turn down the heat and cook evenly each side
until the meat feels slightly firm to pressure in the centre. If
preferred, check by making a small incision in the centre of the steak
- no fat will be lost of course - and serve nice and pink if possible.
(Rare is just fine!!).... on a bed of mixed rocket and watercress
leaves ... mmmm! If you like a little more sophistication, deglaze the
pan with a little red wine and some sliced button mushrooms, and pour
the sauce over the steaks prior to serving.
