Instructions
- Step 1: Season 4 kangaroo medallions evenly with 1 teaspoon sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
- Step 2: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the medallions and sear for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare, then transfer to a warm plate.
- Step 3: Reduce heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and 2 finely chopped shallots to the skillet. Sauté for 2 minutes until translucent.
- Step 4: Pour in 1/2 cup red wine and 1/2 cup beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen browned bits. Stir in 1 teaspoon roasted wattleseed powder and 1/2 teaspoon ground native pepperberry.
- Step 5: Simmer the sauce for 5-6 minutes until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Return the medallions to the pan to warm for 1 minute.
- Step 6: Serve the kangaroo medallions topped with the wattleseed and pepperberry sauce.
