  • Chop the steaks in slices and serve right away on warm corn tortillas. Garnish with onion and cordiander. Add your salsa of choice on top.

Notes

  • Tenderizing the kangaroo meat with pineapple, lime and vinegar will soften the meat and make it more enjoyable
  • Make sure the kangaroo is not fully cooked or the meat will harden.
