Cook Kangaroo Steak

Step 1

Thaw out your steak until it is room temperature. Take the kangaroo steak out of your refrigerator if you marinated it or out of your freezer if you did not. Then, place it on a cabinet or table and let it thaw to room temperature.

Step 2

Rub herbs and spices into your steak for taste. To give your steak some additional flavor, try covering each of its sides with some simple herbs and spices. Ingredients like salt and pepper can enhance the steak’s natural flavors while ingredients like thyme, ginger, and brown sugar will give it more unique taste characteristics.If you marinated or pre-seasoned your steak, skip this step to avoid over-seasoning the dish.

Step 3

Coat a skillet with cooking oil and heat it to a high temperature. Grab a skillet or similar pan and coat it with cooking oil to keep the steak from sticking to it. Then, place it over a stovetop or burner and set the temperature to around 400 °F (204 °C).If your burner does not have precise temperature measurements, set the heat to the second highest setting available.

Step 4

Put your steak in the skillet and cook it for about 2 minutes on each side. Using cooking tongs, set your kangaroo steak in the center of the skillet. Sear the steak for about 2 minutes, then flip it over and cook the other side for the same amount of time.Cooking the meat at such a high temperature will create a nice, rich exterior that seals in the filet’s juices.Your actual cooking times may vary slightly depending on the size of your steak.

Step 5

Reduce the heat and cook each side for another 2 minutes. Once you’ve seared each side of the steak on high, turn your burner’s temperature down to low and cook each side again. Doing this ensures that the steak cooks fully but doesn’t burn.

Step 6

Remove the steak when the outside is dark and the inside is slightly pink. When properly cooked, your steak will have a fairly dark, firm exterior. However, when you cut it open, the inside should still be slightly pink.
