I bought some Kangaroo steaks for dinner. I don't know what they taste like do you?

Question

yummm. That was really good, with a herb and garlic maranade. If I had'nt know it was kangaroo I would have thought it was roast beef quite tender and moist, not strong tasting but good. Says on the package high in iron and 98% fat free Im very supprised! It was like half the price of beef steaks of the same size. Im going to call it as the next meat of choice. If beef every goes off the market.

Answer 1

they taste good just like kangaroo. eat and enjoy tell us what you think of them.

Answer 2

Kangaroo Steaks with Marinated Mandarins
Don't be put off by Kangaroo meat, this dish works perfectly well with beef fillet. Kangaroo however is very low in fat and cholesterol and has a flavour very similar to beef.

3-4 servings
4¼ hours 4 hours prep
35 1/3 ounces kangaroo fillets (you can substitute beef fillet)
1 can mandarin segments
marinade
2-3 tablespoons spicy plum sauce
2 oranges, juiced or 2 tablespoons orange juice concentrate
2/3 cup kikkoman teriyaki sauce
fresh ground black pepper
1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoons olive oil
1 lime, juiced
1/4 cup Grand Marnier

Marinate well-drained and patted dry mandarin segments in Grand Marnier for as long as possible (2-3 days would be good but 4 hours minimum), turning regularly.
Drain liquid off mandarins and add liquid to all other marinade ingredients.
Combine well and reduce by 50% if using fresh orange juice, otherwise leave as is.
Cut kangaroo (or beef) fillets into 20-25mm thick diagonal slices (cut across the grain).
Pat sliced kangaroo steaks dry and add half the marinade to a shallow dish.
Add steaks& pour over remaining marinade and refrigerate turning occasionally.
Remove steaks from refrigerator 2 hours before cooking and turn meat.
Grill steaks for 10-15 minutes, until medium cooked DO NOT OVERCOOK AND TOUGHEN.
Meanwhile, reduce leftover marinade in a pan on a low heat, and when reduced add marinated mandarin segments and toss lightly.
Heat through and serve over steaks with boiled rice and a side salad of 3 or 4 different lettuces.
Make a dressing of balsamic vinegar, lemon juice and concentrated orange juice, seasoned with freshly crushed pepper and a little Grand Marnier.
Serve with a Gutsy Aussie Red.

Being a former chef and having served them when I worked at a hotel in Singapore, they are very lean, like ostrich and emu, we did them to, marinate in a low acid marinate with garlic, spices, herbs and oil, it is your choice.

Not to long, if you roast them, brown them first or if grilling, like venison and others, medium rare is about as well as they should be cooked. Sauce are also up to you, anything that you would serve with beef steaks, mushroom sauce, hollandaise or BBQ sauce, and like beef, let it rest for 5 minute after cooking so the meat relaxes and the juices will not run out.

I was a chef for a Canadian hotel chain and travelled for the chain acrossed Canada, and some of the other propertys around the globe, Asia and in Jamaica.

Answer 4

Here is one from Australia. Kangaroo is fantastic, as you said it is very lean. The secret is not to overcook it, yes marinate it in your favourite or garlic and onions mixture

it is great - recommend it to your friends

cheers from OZ
