Friend of mine bring me some kangourou meat. Can you actually eat that, and do you have an interesting recipe?!
Answers:
TOTALLY - & it is YUM ... it is sold in the supermarket here!! :)
It does not require alot of cooking - this just makes the meat tough and tasteless!...Serve Rare to medium!
The primary kangaroo cuts include strip loin, (long) fillet and rump which are all ideally suited to pan frying, barbecuing and stir frying and are suggested to be served medium rare. Secondary cuts are generally sold as diced meat or mince and these are best used in things such as sausages.
kangaroo is a very lean meat & contains less than 2% fat. This basically means that if it’s overcooked, not rested or improperly carved, the meat is more likely to be dry and tough. If you like your meat well done, I’d suggest you avoid kangaroo and stick to high fat meats.
TO COOK - Heat a frypan to hot, add a little oil (peanut or even macadamia nut oil wor well). As the kangaroo is lean, add just a little more oil than normal, which will reduce the chance of the meat sticking.
Place the kangaroo in the pan and depending on the size of the fillet I cook for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side. At that time I remove the entire pan from the stove and cover it with foil and leave to rest for 5 minutes.
After resting the meat, I slice the kangaroo fillet across the grain, which is the final step in maintaining the tenderness.
MARINATE - you can if you want - keep it simple!
Something like - juice of lemon, juice of orange, 1 tsp cinnamon powder, 1/4 tsp oregano, salt & freshly ground black pepper
ENJOY :)

im sure you can people eat much stranger things. Depends on where the meat comes from in relation to its anatomy on how you cook it. some muscles are used frequently and need to be cooked in different ways to make them appetizing
