Ingredients

• 500 g Kangaroo fillet or beef steak
• 250 ml Red wine
• 2 medium Pears
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 50 g Macadamia nuts
• 1 tbsp Butter
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves

Directions

Step 1

Pat dry the kangaroo fillet or beef steaks with paper towels, and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the pears into thin wedges. Set them aside for later use.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, heat the red wine over medium heat and stir in the brown sugar until dissolved. Add the balsamic vinegar and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes or until reduced by half. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large pan or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the kangaroo fillet or beef steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side or until browned. Adjust timing for desired doneness. Remove the meat from the pan and let it rest under foil.

Step 5

In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Reduce heat to medium and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 6

Add the sliced pears to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 7

Pour the red wine reduction over the pears, toss well, and cook for another 2 minutes until the pears are coated in the glaze. Stir in the fresh thyme leaves.

Step 8

Roughly chop the macadamia nuts and toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat.

Step 9

Slice the rested fillet or steak into thin slices and arrange on serving plates. Spoon the pear and red wine glaze over the meat and sprinkle with the toasted macadamia nuts.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed greens, or crusty bread.
