Instructions
- Step 1: Pat dry 4 kangaroo steaks with paper towels and season both sides evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, then transfer to a plate and tent loosely with foil.
- Step 3: Reduce heat to medium and add 2 tbsp unsalted butter, 2 crushed garlic cloves, and 2 fresh rosemary sprigs to the skillet. Stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Step 4: Pour in 1 cup dry red wine and 1 cup beef stock, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon. Simmer the sauce for 8-10 minutes until reduced by half and slightly thickened.
- Step 5: Remove garlic and rosemary from the jus, then return steaks to the pan for 1 minute to warm through and coat with sauce. Serve steaks drizzled with the red wine rosemary jus alongside roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
