Instructions

Step 1: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). In a small bowl, combine 2 tsp wattleseed powder, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over 4 x 6 oz kangaroo steaks.
Step 2: Brush the steaks with 2 tbsp olive oil to prevent sticking, then grill for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness, turning once.
Step 3: Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix 1 cup chopped bush tomatoes, 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander, 1 tbsp lime juice, and 1/4 tsp chili flakes. Stir gently to combine and let sit for 5 minutes to develop flavors.
Step 4: Remove the steaks from the grill and rest for 5 minutes. Serve topped with the bush tomato salsa for a fresh, tangy contrast.
