Striploin
Kangaroo striploin is the longissimus steak muscle—neat pan and grill steaks. Very lean Australian game is deep red with a clean mineral taste and almost no marbling. High heat for crust, rest, slice. Season simply. Lean game striploins need restraint on doneness. Cook steaks rare to medium-rare only; use mince and braise for well-done dishes.

History
Aboriginal Australians hunted kangaroo as a primary protein across the continent. Cooks treated striploin of kangaroo as a cut with its own timing and sides.
As kangaroo cookery specialised, striploin was portioned and sold ready for the pan. Commercial kangaroo harvest supplied export lean red meat under regulation.
Retail strips, mince and jerky made kangaroo a supermarket game option; striploin of kangaroo took a named place in that kitchen trade.
