Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 4 kangaroo steaks and season both sides with 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms and the internal temperature reads 130°F for medium-rare; remove and rest on a warm plate.
Step 3: Reduce heat to medium, add 2 tbsp unsalted butter, 2 smashed garlic cloves, and 2 fresh rosemary sprigs to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Pour in 1 cup dry red wine and 1/2 cup beef stock, scraping the browned bits from the pan with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until the sauce reduces by half and thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 5: Remove garlic and rosemary, then spoon the red wine reduction over the rested kangaroo steaks before serving.
