steps

Let's make it

▢
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the kangaroo meat and brown on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
▢
In the same pan, add the onion, carrots, and garlic. Cook until softened. Return the meat to the pan and add the red wine. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 2 hours, or until the meat is tender.
▢
Roll out the pastry dough and line the bottom of a pie dish. Pour in the meat and wine mixture. Cover with another layer of pastry dough. Seal the edges and brush the top with the beaten egg.
▢
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and flaky. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
