Kangaroo Medallions With Fennel Carrot Slaw

Makes 4-6 Servings

Kangaroo medallions are a good cut to start with if you’re preparing kangaroo meat for the first time. They’re easy to work with, tender, and when grilled with a simple marinade really showcase kangaroo’s beefy, smoky-sweet flavor. Juniper berries pair well with kangaroo, like most game meats, bringing a subtle pine-forest scent and flavor to your dishes.

In this preparation, we’ve paired the grilled kangaroo medallions with a crisp, slightly acidic fennel & carrot slaw for a complete dish that won’t leave you feeling stuffed.

INGREDIENTS
  • 4-6 Kangaroo Medallions (1 per person)
  • 4 Juniper Berries per medallion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 5 sprigs of fresh oregano
  • olive oil to coat
  • 5 large carrots
  • 10 ribs of celery
  • 2 ½ fennel bulbs
  • 50/50 cider vinegar and rice vinegar to taste
  • 50/50 peanut oil and olive oil to taste
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • Finishing Salt for garnish (we used Hawaiian Red Sea Salt)
  • butcher’s twine

DIRECTIONS

1

Roll the medallions around the juniper berries and tie them with butcher’s twine.
2

Make a marinade: slice the garlic cloves thinly, combine them with the oregano and olive oil in a bowl.
3

Submerge the medallions in the marinade. Marinate in the fridge (covered) for at least three hours, preferably overnight, before removing them from the oil and grilling.
4

Wash the vegetables and peel the carrots. Slice the vegetables fine with a knife, mandoline, or the slicing side of a box grater. Toss them with the oils, vinegars, and salt & pepper. Let the slaw sit (covered) in the fridge while you grill the medallions.
5

Grill the kangaroo medallions on a well oiled, hot grill until they reach your desired internal temperature (remember, kangaroo is extremely low in fat, and thus cooks very quickly). We cooked ours for about 5 minutes.
6

Cut and remove the twine, serve with the slaw.
