Aussie Steak Sanger (***)
I was originally going to make an Italian styled sandwich, using pancetta, taleggio cheese and an italian pork sausage called a cotechino (If you've got a good italian butcher I highly recommend trying cotechino) but I decided to do something more Australian so I opted for a Kangaroo Steak Sandwich.
Ingrediants
Ciabatta roll with Olives, toasted
Kangaroo loin
d'Affinois cheese (french in origin)
Garlic and mustard Mayo
Red Onions
Iceberg Lettuce
So to start with made the garlic mustard mayonnaise, used this recipe

To that I added some diced red onions for texture.
Then BBQ's the Roo, trick with Roo is not to overcook it otherwise it ends up tough as boots. Its high in protein, iron and low in fat, the marinade added a touch of sweetness to it.

Next was slicing some red onions and sticking them in the fry pan with some butter gave then a bit of a cook, while i did that i had the ciabatta toasting and diced up the iceberg lettuce.
It all came together like this, ciabatta, iceberg lettuce, fried onions, d'Affinois cheese.

Then the meat and mustard and Bob's your mother's brother.

Now i'm well partial to a steak sandwich and this pretty damn good. I also enjoyed using some local meat, kangaroo is a great eat, i don't eat enough of it (Mind you I've had it three times this week and I've noticed an extra bounce in my step.) but i think you're only supposed to eat it once a week, due to the iron content. The d'Affinois is a great cheese and I love fried onions. Overall if i was to do it again I might use a cheese with a stronger character, I'll probably end up making that cotechino sandwich at some point, I don't eat bread anymore so it might be a while away.
