Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 150g each) kangaroo fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 cloves (minced) garlic cloves
• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon (finely chopped) fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Remove the kangaroo fillets from the fridge and allow them to come to room temperature for 10-15 minutes before cooking.

Step 2

Rub the fillets with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Heat a grill pan or barbecue over high heat until it is very hot.

Step 4

Place the fillets on the hot grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the timing to your preferred doneness level. Avoid overcooking as kangaroo meat can become tough if cooked too long.

Step 5

While the fillets are cooking, prepare the garlic herb butter by mixing the minced garlic, unsalted butter, parsley, rosemary, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a small bowl until well combined.

Step 6

Once the fillets are cooked, remove them from the grill and rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures tender meat.

Step 7

Slice the fillets if desired and top with a dollop of garlic herb butter. The heat from the meat will melt the butter, creating a delicious sauce.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
