Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep thinly sliced kangaroo steak from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Kangaroo Stir-Fry with Bush Tomato and Garlic?

For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Kangaroo Stir-Fry with Bush Tomato and Garlic for a different number of people?
