Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season 8 kangaroo medallions evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Press each medallion into 1 cup finely crushed macadamia nuts to coat both sides.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp unsalted butter and 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until foaming. Add the medallions and sear for 3 minutes per side until the crust is golden and the meat is medium-rare. Remove medallions and keep warm.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add 2 finely chopped shallots and 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme; sauté for 2 minutes until softened.
  4. Step 4: Deglaze the pan with 1/2 cup red wine, scraping the browned bits, then add 1.5 cups beef stock and 1 tbsp wattleseed powder. Simmer gently for 8-10 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens to a glossy jus.
  5. Step 5: Spoon the wattleseed jus over the kangaroo medallions and serve immediately.
