Cook over high heat 2 minutes to seal sides, turning.
For rare meat, cook 2 more minutes. For medium meat, reduce
heat to medium, continue cooking for 3 minutes.
(If using steaks cook for 3-4 minutes, turning
occasionally.)
Remove meat from pan. Cover and keep warm.
Add reserved marinade and cream to pan juices, bring to
boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered 3 minutes or until
sauce has reduced and thickened.
Slice cooked fillets thinly and serve with warm sauce.

will become dry if overcooked. Cook it to rare or
medium stage only and leave for a few minutes before
serving. This will produce tender, juicy kangaroo meat.
