Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season 2 kangaroo steaks (6 oz each) evenly with 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp ground wattleseed, and 1 tsp crushed black peppercorns.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove steaks and let rest on a plate.
  3. Step 3: Reduce heat to medium and add 1 tbsp butter to the same pan. Add 1 finely chopped shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 1/2 cup beef broth, scraping the pan to loosen browned bits, and simmer for 4 minutes until reduced by half.
  5. Step 5: Stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream and simmer an additional 2 minutes until the 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 before serving.
