Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 275°F. Rub 2 lbs kangaroo roast all over with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, pressing the herbs into the meat.
  2. Step 2: Place the kangaroo roast in a roasting pan and cook in the oven for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare; the meat should be tender but still slightly pink.
  3. Step 3: Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest covered loosely with foil for 15 minutes to redistribute the juices.
  4. Step 4: Slice the kangaroo roast thinly against the grain and serve alongside 1 cup bush tomato chutney, spooned generously to complement the gamey flavor with a sweet and tangy contrast.
