- Kangaroo steak
- The meat being cooked, which is the main food of the dish.
The step that matters
Quickly remove the stones at the right moment. Removing the stones too late can overcook the thin steak, while removing them too early leaves it underdone. Timing controls how far the meat's proteins set and how juicy it stays.
