Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 4 kangaroo steaks (5 oz each) and season evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Step 2: Sear the kangaroo steaks for 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, then transfer to a warm plate to rest.
  3. Step 3: Reduce heat to medium and add 2 tbsp butter to the pan. Sauté 1 minced small shallot for 2 minutes until translucent.
  4. Step 4: Deglaze the pan with 1/2 cup dry white wine, scraping up browned bits. Let reduce by half, about 3 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and 1 1/2 tsp ground native pepperberries. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Step 6: Return the kangaroo steaks to the pan for 1 minute to warm through and coat with sauce. Serve garnished with 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley.
