Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 275°F. Rub 4 kangaroo steaks (5 oz each) with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Step 2: Heat a heavy oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 2 minutes on each side until browned.
- Step 3: Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the steaks for 15-20 minutes until medium rare (internal temperature 130°F).
- Step 4: Remove steaks and rest covered with foil for 5 minutes.
- Step 5: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt 2 tbsp unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Step 6: Add 1 tbsp crushed dried Australian pepperberries, 1 cup beef stock, and 1/2 cup red wine. Simmer gently for 10 minutes until the sauce reduces by half and thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Step 7: Serve the rested kangaroo steaks drizzled with the pepperberry sauce.
