Australia

Kangaroo has been a native food source for tens of thousands of years and has seen a modern resurgence as a lean, sustainable Australian meat.

Lean, richly flavoured kangaroo fillet marinated and grilled quickly over high heat — a native Australian protein prized for its dark, gamey flavour.
