COOKBOOK: The No Excuses Cookbook - Michelle Bridges
There are also many good and bad things about kangaroo meat! Back in 2016 the government was urging us to move away from beef and eat kangaroo meat. There were 45 million kangaroos which doubled our human population in Australia. The problem with this meat is that it carries a lot of parasitic worms. Most of the meat is not edible and therefore disposed of.
For me this meat is tasteless. It requires to be cooked medium-rare otherwise it’s too tough to eat and it needs the likes of beetroot and feta to give it some flavour. Medium-rare kangaroo steak is just pink/red and lacks the flavoursome juices that a good steak has.
Enjoy
