Instructions

Step 1: Combine 2 tsp ground wattleseed, 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and 1 tsp sea salt in a small bowl. Rub evenly over 4 kangaroo steaks.
Step 2: Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil over the seasoned steaks, massaging gently to coat all sides; let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Step 3: Preheat a grill or cast iron pan to high heat (about 450°F). Place the steaks on the grill and char for 3 minutes per side for medium rare, turning once.
Step 4: Remove steaks from heat and rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
Step 5: Serve each steak with a wedge of lemon and a side of 4 cups mixed salad greens dressed lightly with olive oil and lemon juice.
