This quick and easy herbed kangaroo schnitzel recipe is perfect for a flavorful midweek dinner. Tender kangaroo steaks are coated in a fragrant herb breading and pan-fried until golden, making it a delicious and simple meal.
The best meat is steaks from the Kangaroo butcher in Central Markets of Adelaide. he’ll sell you 2kg for a VERY good price, leaving some to freeze for another time. I use dried herbs because they are easy to incorporate into breadcrumbs, use fresh if you chop finely and want an intense flavour.
Get out 3 plates and a shallow wide bowl. Plate 1 : Flour Wide bowl : beaten eggs Plate 2 : bread crumbs with herbs stirred through
Set up assembly line in above order. (You will notice that Kangaroo has a distinct smell when it is raw - this quickly goes away once cooked and leaves no taste) Dust your steaks first in flour, then dip and coat in egg and finally in breadcrumbs.
Fry VERY QUICKLY in a little hot oil. only 2-5 minutes per side (2 minutes if very hot, 5 if you are watching T.v while cooking on low heat :P) this also depends on how thick the steaks are.
serve with your favourite vegies.
