Any good Kangaroo recipes?

You cannot physically "fence in" roos. so you cannot farm them.

Roos can jump pretty much an reasonable fence that you can build. It would cost a **** load to build roo fences. and even though roos live in herds (or whatever they live in), they do not fare well in close spaces. roos are like pandas, if they dont have the resources or space avaliable, wich is ALOT, they wont breed. so farming them isnt feesable, plus we have to many anyway

Another reason! I just thought it would be silly to farm them while culling wild ones. If I was going to eat meat I would prefer to eat kangaroos because they cull them anyway.

My dog pretty much only eats roo meat.

Getting back to the o.p...

I substitute Roo mince for almost any recipe that calls for beef mince (ground beef). The mince is super cheap and you can find it at any Cole's or Woolies.

Lasagne, chili con carne (tailgate chili), meatloaf, pasta and meatballs, tacos... you name it. I've found that if tomato sauce/paste is in the recipe, there's no discernible difference between the taste of the beef recipe vs. the kangaroo.

Yeah. They're cute. But so are cows and lambs. BFD. The sustainability factor wins over the cuteness factor for me.

I kind of want to try Kangaroo now. Sadly don't think the US offers it. Humph.

Hi, I have the same thoughts about increasing iron intake by eating 'roo occasionally.
We had a meal of kangaroo last night and it was very tasty. My wife cut the steaks into strips and marinated them in a combination of plum sauce, white wine, egg white & soy sauce before grilling it. Serve with steamed green beans and mushroom pasta.

I live in the UK at the moment and I miss 'roo steak sooo much!! It's tastey as hell and so good for you - lean with lots of protein!

I like it chopped into large chunks, stir fried briefly in garlic and then add soy sauce right at the end - the meat literally soaks it up.

Nomnomnomnomnoms!

You definately have to like your steak rare to appreciate kangaroo - as previously stated it dries out and gets very hard to chew if you over cook it. I like my steak cooked blue, so it's perfect for me.

I'm actually drooling a little just thinking about it... (Yes, I'm basically a carnivore..)

Oh, and if you can get them - kanga banga's ('roo sausages) are tastey too!

Vegans please don't read on.Pan fry it on a quite high heat in OLIVE oil and a little salt. Make sure it is a on the rare side and it will taste like the most expensive steak money can buy, overcook it and it will taste like a cross between old tyre and liver. Even people who like steak well done will prefer it this way. I have never had an overseas visitor not go for second helpings . You can also marinate it with the usual steak type marinades if you intend to overcook it.

Iv'e decided to start eating Kangaroo as I don't seem to be getting enough Iron and I want to increase my protein intake to try add a little muscle.
Any good suggestions on how to serve it without ruining its great nutritional values?

You can download an ebook or look online. Google "Macro Meats" (brand of kangaroo I buy)

I just had some this weekend for the first time. I made a yogurt tandoori rub and marinated it for about 3 hours. Take about 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt, 1-2 tbsp any vinegar you like, and approx 1-2 tbsp honey and 2-3 garlic cloves chopped 1/2inch piece of ginger root chopped. Then in a separate dish mix the spices. 1 tsp cumin, a pinch of garam masala, 1/2 tsp paprika, salt, black pepper, pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. I always smell the spices and see if I need/want to add anything else in. Once you have your spice combination mix with the yogurt and other wet ingredients. Completely coat the entire piece of meat and just let it sit. I use this for lamb to, and I think the best way to eat it is grilled. The butcher told me to cook if very fast, it was raining the day I cooked it so I didn't grill it, but I pan seared it with a bit of oil. 4 minutes on each side. Grilling it will be healthier because you don't need the added oil, just make sure to keep it healthy use natural charcoal not them chemical drenched charcoal bricks.

You can buy kangaroo meat in the UK - but it's expensive and I don't really think it's worth the effort as it's always been frozen which doesn't do the texture any favours. There's plenty of venison of course but ostrich is probably the best substitute.

I like Kangaroo too and have cooked it on and off for a few years, I fry it like a rare steak or I stir fry it with vegetables. All very yummy, I have never found it to have a strong flavour. It is good because it is naturally lean and obviously lower in fat, so a good choice for meat.

Yes in Australia we eat our national emblems.

My favourite way to eat kanagaroo: Bring roo to room temperature before cooking. Brush a 3/4 inch thick roo steak with macadamia nut oil, very lightly salt and put it on the preheated bbq (chargrill) on high to seal (both sides) and then turn it down to low to medium for a couple of minutes each side. Do not overlook roo or it will be tough. Coat a plate with baby spinach and Let the leaves soften/wilt under a layer of hot slow cooked potato (with skins on) lightly crushed with little salt and garlic and lite sour cream then stack the roo steak on top of that potato and generously drizzle over with a reduced port glaze - enough to mingle with the wilted greens and crushed creamy garlic potato. Serve with a nice Duriff or at least a big Shiraz. Mmmmm .... Kangaroo. This is my favorite way to eat it. Just the combination of flavours and the rich port glaze go so well with roo. I have rock wallabies in the front yard, and they don't look as nervous as they should hahaha ;-)

Thanks, Sally! Nothing beats fresh, does it

Will definitely look out for ostrich!
