Instructions
- Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp ground native pepperberry, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until well combined and glossy.
- Step 2: Place 4 kangaroo fillets in a shallow dish and brush both sides generously with half of the pepperberry glaze. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Place the kangaroo fillets on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, brushing with the remaining glaze halfway through, until the fillets are medium rare to medium and have nice char marks.
- Step 4: Remove the fillets from the grill and rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute and flavors to intensify.
