Ingredients

• Kangaroo bulloins - 2 pieces (200 grams each)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh rosemary - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Fresh thyme - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Black pepper - 1 teaspoon, freshly ground
• Salt - to taste
• Red wine - 1/4 cup
• Butter - 1 tablespoon
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Beef stock - 1/2 cup

Preparation

1. Place the kangaroo bulloins in a shallow dish and rub them with olive oil, garlic, fresh rosemary, and fresh thyme. Season with black pepper and salt. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
2. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
3. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add butter. Once melted, add the marinated kangaroo bulloins and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned.
4. Remove the kangaroo bulloins from the skillet and set aside. Add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent.
5. Deglaze the skillet with red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it reduce by half.
6. Add the beef stock to the skillet and bring to a simmer.
7. Return the kangaroo bulloins to the skillet, spoon some of the sauce over them, and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
8. Broil for about 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F) for medium-rare.
9. Remove from the oven and let the meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain.
