Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 4 kangaroo medallions and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2: Sear medallions for 2-3 minutes per side until medium-rare (internal temp around 130°F). Remove medallions and cover loosely with foil to rest.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp unsalted butter and 1 finely chopped small shallot. Sauté for 2 minutes until translucent.
Step 4: Add 1/2 cup red wine and 1/2 cup beef stock, scraping up browned bits from the pan. Simmer for 5 minutes until reduced by half.
Step 5: Stir in 1 tsp ground wattleseed and 1/4 cup heavy cream. Cook for another 2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 6: Return kangaroo medallions to the pan briefly to warm through, then serve topped with the wattleseed pepper sauce.
