Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1 lb ground kangaroo meat with 1 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp smoked paprika. Mix gently and form into 4 equal patties.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the kangaroo patties for 4 minutes per side until browned on the outside and medium-rare inside.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup mayonnaise with 1/2 tsp native pepperberry powder to create the spicy native pepper sauce.
  4. Step 4: Toast 4 burger buns lightly on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden.
  5. Step 5: Assemble each burger by spreading 1 tbsp native pepper sauce on the bottom bun, adding a kangaroo patty, topping with 2 tbsp beetroot relish, 1 leaf of lettuce, and 2 tbsp thinly sliced red onion.
  6. Step 6: Cover with the top bun and serve immediately while warm.
