Instructions

  1. Step 1: Set up a breading station with 1/2 cup flour in one shallow dish, 1 beaten large egg in another, and 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts in a third. Season 4 kangaroo steaks with 1 tsp salt and dredge each in flour, then egg, then press into macadamia nuts to coat.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil and 3 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated kangaroo steaks and cook for 3 minutes per side until golden and medium-rare. Remove steaks and keep warm.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add 2 minced shallots and sauté for 2 minutes until translucent.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 1 cup beef stock and bring to a simmer, scraping browned bits off the pan.
  5. Step 5: Stir in 1/4 cup cream, 1 tsp ground wattleseed, and 1 tsp cracked black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Step 6: Serve the kangaroo steaks topped with the wattleseed pepper sauce.
