What You’ll Need
- 6 Kangaroo fillets (approximately 4 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons of Mountain Pepper
- 1/4 cup of Olive oil
- 1/4 cup of Red wine
- 2 cloves of Garlic, minced
- 1 large Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cups of mixed Berries (strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries)
- 1/4 cup of Sugar
- 1 tablespoon of Lemon juice
- Sea salt to taste
- Freshly ground Black pepper to taste
- A handful of Parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
Method
Step One
The first step in cooking the Mountain Pepper Kangaroo Fillets requires you to marinate the kangaroo fillets. Start by combining the Mountain Pepper, olive oil, red wine, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, salt, and ground black pepper in a bowl.
Step Two
Next, place the kangaroo fillets into the marinade. Ensure they are coated well on both sides and let them marinate for at least two hours, or preferably overnight if you have time.
Step Three
In the meantime, let’s prepare the mixed berry compote. Put the mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice into a saucepan. Cook this over a medium heat until the berries become soft, and the mixture thickens. It should take approximately 10-15 minutes.
Step Four
Once the kangaroo fillets have finished marinating, preheat your grill or stove-top grill pan. Cook the fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Step Five
Rest the kangaroo fillets for a few minutes after they come off the grill. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Step Six
Serve the hot kangaroo fillets with the warm mixed berry compote spooned on top. Finish each plate with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Enjoy your Mountain Pepper Kangaroo Fillets!
