Kangaroo Burgers
Kangaroo Burgers deliver a bold, clean, distinctly Australian red-meat flavor that’s naturally lean, tender, and high in protein. They sear beautifully on a hot grill or cast-iron, love herb-and-spice rubs, and shine with bright, zesty toppings. We ship them frozen at peak quality for maximum freshness and cookability. Eat Wild.
- Distinctive & approachable: rich, beef-adjacent flavor with a clean finish—fantastic on a toasted bun.
- Lean grind: great on cast-iron, flat-top, or charcoal; takes well to spice blends and vibrant sauces.
- Ships frozen on dry ice: arrives rock-solid; thaw safely and cook to a juicy finish.
What’s Included
Ground kangaroo formed into burger patties. See the variant selector for patty count and total weight.
Flavor Pairings & Toppings
- Seasoning ideas: garlic, black pepper, smoked paprika, coriander, cumin, chili flake, lemon zest.
- Sauces & toppings: chimichurri, harissa mayo, pickled red onion, grilled pineapple, arugula, feta.
- Buns: brioche or potato rolls—lightly buttered and toasted for texture.
How to Thaw (Refrigerator Only)
- Keep sealed; place on a rimmed tray to catch drips.
- Allow ~12–24 hours for a pack of patties to thaw in the fridge (34–40°F).
- Once thawed, cook within 48 hours. For exact guidance, use our Storage & Thaw Calculator.
How to Cook (3 Easy Methods)
Food-safety target for ground meats: cook to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Use a fast, accurate thermometer.
1) Cast-Iron / Flat-Top
- Preheat pan until shimmering. Lightly oil the surface (kangaroo is lean).
- Season patties; sear 3–4 minutes per side, flipping once.
- Check 160°F in the center. Rest 3–5 minutes; dress and serve.
2) Charcoal or Gas Grill
- Use a medium-high, well-oiled grate. For extra control, grill two-zone.
- Grill 3–5 minutes per side to 160°F. Avoid pressing—keep juices in.
- Finish over indirect heat if flare-ups occur; rest before plating.
3) Stuffed or Juicy-Style
- Fold in a small amount of minced onion, herbs, or a dab of olive oil for richness.
- Cook gently to 160°F; let carryover finish the center.
Pro Tips
- Don’t overwork the meat: light mixing keeps burgers tender.
- Add a touch of fat if desired: a teaspoon of olive oil per patty or a brush of beef tallow boosts juiciness.
- High heat first, then finish: build color quickly and finish to temp without drying out.
Quality & Safety
- Ships frozen via cold-chain with insulated packaging and dry ice. See Shipping for cut-offs and delivery timing.
- On arrival, move directly to the freezer or start a controlled fridge thaw. Review best practices in Meat Safety & Storage.
- Cook ground meats to 160°F internal; refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours (≤ 40°F).

Chef’s note: Because kangaroo is very lean, don’t skip the rest—juices redistribute and the texture stays silky.
