Ingredients

  • 500 g Kangaroo steak
  • 2 tbsp Lemon myrtle leaves
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 3 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the 500 g kangaroo steak into 2.54 cm cubes.
  2. 2In a bowl, combine the 2 tbsp lemon myrtle leaves (finely chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  3. 3Add the kangaroo cubes to the marinade and mix well to ensure every piece is coated. Let the kangaroo marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature.
  4. 4Thread the marinated kangaroo cubes onto skewers, leaving a small space between each cube.
  5. 5Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This is approximately 204.4-232.2°C (200-230°C).
  6. 6Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side. The kangaroo is cooked when it has a nice sear on the outside and is slightly pink in the center, reaching an internal temperature of 57°C for medium-rare.
  7. 7Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat more tender.
