Recipe kangaroo steak
- 200g kangaroo (roo) loin per person
- Salt to taste
- 1 tsp wattleseed to season
- 1 tsp high temp oil like avocado or grapeseed oil

Method
1. Remove the roo from the fridge 1 hour before you are going to cook it.
2. Brush the roo lions with the oil on all sides and season with salt and wattleseeds.
3. Over a very high grill, cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until you reach an internal temp of 45°c.
4. Rest the steaks for at least 6 minutes before you slice them.
Recipe chips
- 1kg of potatoes (I used dutch creams. King Edward, Maris Piper, Romano, Désirée, or russet potatoes also work great)
- Oil for frying (tallow works great, peanut or canola also work well)
- Salt

Method
1. Wash your potatoes and cut them into 2cm squared chips. Then, put them in a pot with cold water and a tbsp of salt and bring them to a boil. Once boiling, cook it for 4-5 minutes or until the potatoes are just cooked.
2. Remove them from the water and place on a wire rack and into the freezer to dry for 1 hour. Alternatively, you can do this the day before and just leave them in the fridge overnight.
3. Next, heat your oil to 140°C and cook your potatoes for 7-10 minutes or until they just start changing colour. You are best to do this in small batches as you don't want to overcrowd the pot
4. Remove the potatoes from the oil and place them back on the wire rack and in the fridge or freezer to cool again.
5. Heat the oil up to 180°c in batches, place your chips back in for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.

Ingredients Mushroom sauce
- 200g Swiss Brown mushrooms
- 1 shallot, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, finely diced
- 2 tbsp brandy or whiskey (optional)
- 500ml beef stock
- 200ml cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Finely chopped parsley

Method
1. In a pan over med-high heat as the butter and oil, once melted add the shallots and garlic.
2. Sauté ****for 2-3 minutes and then add the mushrooms and cook for a further 3-4 minutes.
3. Deglaze the pan with the brandy and when it has evaporated, add the stock and reduce by at least half to 3/4.
4. Finish with cream and parsley just before you serve.

Andy you are one of the more legit cooking content creators on Youtube. Amazing foundational skills. Much respect and love from Seattle.

There was once a Butcher here in Ireland in the early 2000's that specialized in hard to find meat like Kangaroo, Alligator and Ostrich so I did have the pleasure of trying Kangaroo. Very nice if you ask me - even though I'm sure I overcooked it at the time.

We apppreciate your effort and hard work, Andy. Keep inspiring more people along the way.

Andy is hands down my favorite chef. I never had one before now. I love how accessible he makes everything feel and how he's never pretentious in the way he conveys his knowledge. So chill and the food always looks delicious. Cheers from Nashville, Andy!

Unreal. That tartare looked incredible!

[BestTacoo]

Hey chef, here in a restaurant in Spain they serve the steak tar tar with a fried egg sauce and it's amazing. What they do is fry an egg in a lot of oil (like Asians do) and put in a blender with a bit of milk or cream. Highly recommend you to try it out!

I love the longer videos. Watching you explain as you go is wonderful and helps to understand the why off something.

In 2006 i worked for a cladding company and we stayed the week over in Zandvoort(Netherlands) And there was an Australian cafe/diner called the Boomerang. I had kangaroo steak and i have to admit that i was delicious. After one time eating there, i made this my favorite restaurant. 4 years later i was on a holiday in Zandvoort with my 12 year old daughter. And the first diner we had was Australian food in that same restaurant. And she liked it also, so it was not just me.

When you taste the sauce 8:42 it reminds me of the reaction my father would make. Brought back some memories chef!!!

America loves Andy and his beautiful family.

[Missnips]

Andy would be the best personal chef you could ever have

[ChaosArises]

Great stuff. I would highly recommend making a website to post your recipes and expand your brand. I hate reading recipes on a YouTube description cause it's very awkward on a phone. Would recommend this and you'd be doing me and so many people who love your content a huge favor

[sconnz]

Wow that looks amazing! Love his chopping board, real rippa!

20 years in Australia, and never tried roo (my dog has, many times, rare) mostly because I wasn’t sure how to cook it. Thank you Andy. Never heard about that spice and pepper, hope Woolies have them 😋

[armas_ectos]

For my fellow North Americans that haven't had both, Roo is a bit like venison. Cooks up about the same as well.

When people ask me my favourite cuisine, they are always either very surprised or very affronted that I say I love Aussie Cuisine aka bush tukka. Years ago I visited Fraser Island, now known as K'gari, and the chefs there offered a 'bush tukka' course. I died and went to heaven!!! The wonder and beauty of this food is that it doesn't travel outside of Oz, and personally speaking, I think that is how it should be!!! Simply because it makes me want to keep travelling back, half way across the world, to indulge in the finest foods the planet has to offer! Combine that with Emu, Kangaroo, Crocodile and all your fish that we don't get this side of the Atlantic....it's simply heaven on earth! Please don't ever export your food. Make us foodies come to you to get it! It tastes so much better when we do. Right, change of subject....love your channel, love you Andy and love Katelyn Babe! Mitch and Caleb too! Keep up the amazing content! xx

I usually had kangaroo steak with grandma and my wife in Denmark... Good stuff

[DMSProduktions]

That 'roo was PERFECT Andy!
When my dad was still here, he cooked it regularly. He & I, became expert @ cooking 'roo steak.

I always tell people to cook it LIKE calamari! FLASH cook it or stew it, anything else yields shoe leather!

[LedHead]

Super cool seeing Australian dishes as an American. We don't get to see those very often. looks delicious.

We all need a friend like Andy. All that delicious food!
