Kangaroo, Peach and Pomegranate Salad

  • 4-ounce kangaroo steak
  • Rapeseed or vegetable oil for griddling
  • Salt and pepper
  • Generous handful mixed salad leaves (watercress, spinach and rocket/arugula in this instance)
  • 6 canned peach crescent slices
  • Seeds and juice of half a pomegranate
  • 1 tablespoon rapeseed or extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  1. Put your griddle pan on to the highest possible heat. It will take a few minutes to get as smoking hot as it needs to be.
  2. Oil the kangaroo steak/fillet all over (not the griddle pan) and season with salt and pepper.
  3. The thickness of the steak will determine the cooking time but this approximately one-inch thick steak got two and a half minutes on each side. It should be a little bit pink in the centre.
  4. Lift the kangaroo fillet to a chopping board and leave it for a few minutes to rest.
  5. Pour the rapeseed or olive oil in to a large bowl and add the balsamic vinegar and pomegranate seeds and juice. Stir well.
  6. Wash the salad leaves and shake them dry. Roughly chop the peach pieces. Add both to the bowl and toss by hand.
  7. Thinly slice the kangaroo meat and lightly toss through the salad before plating.
