Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 4 kangaroo steaks and season evenly with 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp ground wattleseed.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the steaks and sear for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness. Remove steaks and tent with foil to rest.
Step 3: Reduce heat to medium and add 2 tbsp butter to the same skillet. Sauté 2 finely chopped small shallots for 2 minutes until softened.
Step 4: Stir in 2 tbsp drained green peppercorns and deglaze the pan with 1/2 cup beef stock, scraping up browned bits. Simmer until reduced by half.
Step 5: Lower heat and stir in 3/4 cup heavy cream, cooking gently for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 6: Return steaks briefly to the pan to warm through in the sauce for 1 minute. Serve kangaroo steaks drizzled with the wattleseed peppercorn cream sauce for an iconic Australian game dish.
