Meat
Steak
Kangaroo steak is a portioned slice for pan or grill—cut from loin, haunch or other suitable muscles depending on the butcher. Very lean Australian game is deep red with a clean mineral taste and almost no marbling. Pat dry, season simply, cook hot, rest. Lean game steaks want rare to medium-rare and a sauce or fat. Cook steaks rare to medium-rare only; use mince and braise for well-done dishes.
