Instructions

Step 1: Lightly oil 4 kangaroo steaks with 2 tbsp olive oil and season both sides with 1 tsp sea salt and 1 tsp ground Tasmanian pepperberry.
Step 2: Prepare a grill or smoker with eucalyptus wood chips and preheat to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Smoke the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare, allowing a subtle eucalyptus aroma to infuse.
Step 3: While the steaks rest, heat 2 tbsp unsalted butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add 2 finely chopped shallots and 1 sprig fresh rosemary, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
Step 4: Deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup dry red wine, simmer until reduced by half, then add 1/2 cup heavy cream. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, seasoning with additional pepperberry to taste.
Step 5: Serve the smoked kangaroo steaks topped with the creamy pepperberry sauce.
