I appreciate your modesty when passing dodgy shops " i dont know what shop this is" .. lovely. 😅

[@SuperLittleTyke]

12:30 Yep, the steak is perfect for me. I don't like steak that's practically raw inside. Neither do I like well done. When I cook a steak at home it's got to be well marbled ribeye. I take it out of the fridge 45 minutes before cooking. I lightly cover it with cling film in case of flies in the summer. To cook, I sprinkle Kucharek Polish seasoning powder on both sides of the steak and rub it in. Then I get a stainless steel pan very hot and add a small amount of sunflower oil. When the oil is also very hot I put in the steak and leave *untouched* for 30 seconds. Then I turn it over and fry also for 30 seconds. Then repeat. Flip and 30 seconds. Flip once more and 30 seconds. Total cooking time: 2 minutes. Of course, it depends on the thickness of the steak and how you like yours, but for me this method works every time. Just after I've taken the steak out to rest for a few minutes, I pour off excess oil, then drizzle a small amount of cold water into the pan, turn the heat up to maximum and scrape the bottom to produce a delicious jus from all the caramelised bits of steak. Pour the jus over the steak, grab the chips from the air fryer. Heaven!

If I was offered Kangaroo I’d have jumped at it .

[@DwaynePipes]

Last time I was in an Australian restaurant I was in a hurry so I ordered kangaroo steak and told the waiter to hop to it! He came back saying that they had none left and offered me camel instead. Now that really gave me hump. So finally I settled for crocodile steak and told him to make it snappy! 😂😂😂 ... I'm here all week! 🤣

[@melissaellis8796]

Kangaroo is lean red meat that is rich in iron. It’s eaten widely throughout Australia and is bought at all supermarkets. I like it but I don’t love it, so it’s not on the menu at our place. Probably best cooked on the BBQ. Lamb, pork, chicken and beef is a more popular choice of meat. 15:28

[@davidmilledge221]

Marinate kangaroo over night in a container off Port it's beautiful and dosnt taste gamey at all its sweet and beautiful

[@AntonyGoud]

Lee I've noticed the pints go down well, might have something to do with our temperature.

[@johneastwood5296]

Still English people abroad wanting food to be the same as at home, go to Spain for a Roast Dinner? We don't have a culture of using fresh potatoes for chips especially in Pubs and Restaurants but use frozen ones, it's not neccesarily wrong, just different.!

[@helmuthschultes9243]

No difference eating Deer (Venison) so popular in Europe and USA, to having Kangaroo, a very lean tasty healthy meat.

[@lightwalker9879]

Outback jacks is like weatherspoons for steaks. Truely b grade chain.

[@Jeni10]

My Dad grew up with his parents working a fish’n’chips shop every day. He was up before dawn, peeling potatoes for three hours before school, and after school, he was back at it prepping for the next day’s chips as well. With the arrival of frozen potatoes, that saved many hours of labour that can be better utilised elsewhere, so unless you are making chips at home from scratch, you’re not likely to find handmade chips at a restaurant.

We call them Food Halls Lee, and The Old Shanghai is one of the oldest and best ones around. Great food and a great vibe. Sadly, due to ever increasing rents, they are few and far between nowadays.

[@richardgetlevog3123]

Fair score that mate and looked a lovely steak. It coukd have been bigger for the price. I'll go 8.5/10 on this one buddy. I've had kangaroo burgers in the past and they are nice, but nithing spectacular. Similar to pork i found. Great video Lee and thanks as always for sharing👍

[@livinginromania]

Steak looked perfect. Shame about the chips and garnish. For that price you needed more on the plate. Please go back and try the mixed meat platter.

[@olivegrove2615]

Kangaroo is lovely. It is best to have lighting cooked. Kangaroo is the healthiest and most environmentally friendly protein available.

[@LadyCrewe]

That steak looked tasty Lee cooked to perfection 😋😋😋

[@SurrealWorldNews]

The grass fed Steak looked cooked to perfection ( but it has to be got to be Bleu or Rare) but the frozen chips are a fail for me. £22 +/- for the meal was OK and £6 for a beer is a bit pricey. So it's a 8 for the service and just for the Geoff steak. Lost 2 for the frozen chips.

[@carbybirett]

Outback Jack is really nothing special, it's a franchise like Hog's Breath Cafe. Fillet steak is a mater of personal taste, I prefer a lovely 30mm thick porterhouse maybe with a buttery mushroom sauce. We eat Kangaroo quite a bit in winter and I prepare it like I would make a deer goulash, with juniper berries, bay leaf, cloves etc. with red wine and other goodies. I really enjoy watching your videos and I like you showing restaurant menus with the prices. Vert interesting. Carl QLD

[@billmagowan1492]

I once went to an Australian-themed pub/restaurant where everyone was eating kangaroo steaks- the place was jumping!😂

[@ACDZ123]

Let's go to the hop ..oh baby 🎵

I skipped the desert though when I went there.

[@williamthompson9532]

Mate so are the cows in N Ireland, they're all grass fed. We have the best meat in the world.

[@Alunticstalkedme4072]

Australia has the best beef along with Argentina. They are renowned for it. I've never heard that Ireland has the best meat. Alot of Australia's cattle are also open range, you can't compete with how pure and untouched the lands are in remote Australia.

[@davidlindburg1921]

Lee can thoroughly recommend Kangaroo. (It's a bit gamey but a very lean meat and wonderful for your heart!). Emu is good and crocodile is alright. Australian cuisine has come a long long way especially the last 20 years has really stepped up.

[@rw-xf4cb]

roo is delicious though over cooked like boot leather - still good they sell it in packs in supermarkets with a sauce - definitely better with a fruit type sauce but meat is often better with such pork and apple, lamb and mint (well not fruit but am sure some have something with it) - roo with some bush berry sauce would be great! super lean meat too and highly sustainable there are more roos in Australia than humans and often need culling to keep level under control in the past was just pet food until someone realised its actually very bloody good!

[@howardbeatman2820]

When I visited Australia a generation ago, I had dinner at a bar-and-grill where I ordered a "wild game shishkabob" including kangaroo, emu, camel, & crocodile. The camel was wonderful and the crocodile was just as bad as you think it is.

Good Evening Lee. Lots of Unique eateries to choose what Interesting Food and Drink to have for ones meal. Lee, You have chosen spot on. Straight away Excellent and very Friendly Customer Service and that really lovely person touch and appreciation towards the Customer. Charlie, what a Lovely young man. Politeness and Courteousy costs nothing. Proper Customer Service. Your steak Lee was absolutely the Best i have ever seen. Chips were Good and a nice salad garnish, not to much. A lovely chilled pint to wash it all down with. Yes Lee, You should go back there and do the Special Meats Platter. I look forward to seeing the film Lee.

Mr Mac, you should really go back and have the tasting platter, apart from being an experience, it is also something that you won't be able to get back home. Go for it mate, we all want to see what you think.

[@Mrbuckaroonie..]

When you cook an Emu, you put it in a massive pot with a big rock. You boil it for 12 hours and then throw the Emu out and eat the rock!!!! lol

[@Melbournelost66]

[@motr1912]

Had kangaroo steak in Victor Harbor, SA in 2020 and was the best piece of food in a very long time.

[@markiangooley]

I visit England every few years and had English grass-fed beef on a 2015 visit with a group from various parts of the USA and Canada. The Englishman (by then a U. S. resident) in our group warned me that I’d be disappointed and that eating beef in Stratford-upon-Avon is ridiculous for an American. He was right. My last visit I ate a lot of fish and chips, sometimes not bothering with chips. Lots of fish roes - hard to get here in Florida (fish here in Florida is surprisingly hard to get fresh, and more expensive than steak).

[@Tidybitz]

Yes, the steak looked great and very tender to cut, it made me fancy one, NOW! The price was about the norm for fillet steak, but I thought the plate looked a bit sparse, I'd personally would have liked some extra touches like onion rings and an egg or a mushroom or something. I'd have to give the steak itself a 10, loved it, but the whole meal was a bit lacking and very disappointing. This area certainly looks more lively than anywhere else you've been so far and an evening video from there would be nice. Surely you have to at least sample the croc, emu and kangaroo whilst you're there though. 😀

[@dentray]

Lee forget that James Street food hall rubbish, take a short walk down William Street Northbridge the main road just off James Street and see all the proper Asian restaurants or come for a longer walk to the Beaufort street cafe strip! The CBD is dead for tourists in the evening or early evening.

[@TheMacMaster]

Thanks Mate.

[@gregpies1649]

Steak looked a bit small for $48 and overpriced considering the chips and salad were below average. I would have been disappointed considering what you could have bought over the road for half the price and it all looked delicious.

[@NNC93]

£24 for a fillet steak dunno where your from but that isn’t bad at all was a decent size too.

[@TravelHonestly]

Strewth! 40+ degrees! That’s over a 100 in old money! Great video Lee. Enjoyed it.

[@wearetomorrowspast.5617]

I think Lee needs to stop in there again and at least try the crocodile. I would have to find out what it tastes like.

[@pietjemol3420]

It tastes between fish and chicken...

[@phunkmonkeycookiegarage7773]

Yeah. very true. People expect it to have a strong taste but it's quite mild. I usually grab a Croc Pie or two for Sunday brunch myself :) @@pietjemol3420

[@EggPottsKnock]

It depends on the cut for Kangaroo, I've had some that's been as nice and tender as fillet steak, must give the others a try when I'm next there, for fish & chips I've found the best to be in Rockingham down by the sea front.

[@Mrbuckaroonie..]

The cost of living in this country is ridiculous now. Can you let us know how our prices compare to the UK please?

That was Aladdins cave for cuisines what a choice on offer at the buffet.That steak looked really juicy. 👍

[@FrankTimms-cs5hl]

Probably similar to 🐊crocodile,I tried alligator in Florida & did not like it. I’ve heard people describe it as tasting “too gamey”(American term)? You have to get a “Crocodile Dundee” hat for a souvenir before you leave & maybe one for Geoff buys cars too.

[@outragousbob4367]

Definitely should have tried the game platter! I visited a jungle restaurant in Puerto Vallarta Mexico and had a similar experience but I ordered the seafood platter which had frog legs, octopus and other oddities. I remember that meal above several five star meals I’ve had including one at a very exclusive London restaurant! Go Back! By the by, if you truly want the best steak in the world, the best I’ve ever experienced wasn’t even from a cow but rather an American Bison. I had Bison fillet mignon in Deadwood South Dakota. My good lord that was the best steak I’ve ever encountered! Btw, Australia looks beautiful!

[@EvilSie]

Puerto Vallarta - great place and excellent food.

i have had Kangaroo curry in a Chinese restaurant in Sydney and it was really tasty and a bit spicy, i would definitely have it again

[@palace1439]

Loved a bit of Kangaroo, Ostrich and Crocodile when I was in Aus. Haven't had Emu though Lee.

[@Jeni10]

Kangaroo is very similar to venison, I like it but it’s not like beef and may be an acquired taste. I like it but I’ve only cooked it myself, never had it at a restaurant. The supermarkets sell it as steaks, mince and sausages but do not overcook it or you’ll be chewing it for hours. Rare to medium rare, not medium.

[@Alunticstalkedme4072]

Kangaroo is delicious, it has to be cooked rare. It's far healthier and environmentally ft8endlt they are open range being that they are wild animals. Although alot of Australia's beef is also open range as they are raised on giant cattle stations, some bigger than countries like Belgium. Some of the grain fed beef is also revered too, theyvare grass fed and then given grains for 40% of their lives. It produces morr consistent meat and less fat. And again most of them are open range so they roam in islotated lands that aren manicured for agriculture making it a far purer environment for cattle.

[@267BISMARK]

All meat is healthy

[@Alunticstalkedme4072]

@@267BISMARK so you think a wild animal is not healthier meat than an animal raised on a agricultural paddock manicured with chemicals, nitrates and feesies. Maybe think about it! There is also a reason open range cattle are more sought after than theor farm raised counterparts.

[@serenepeacefulrelaxingmusi3874]

Great video! I enjoyed seeing the sights there and I liked the food hall as well. The steak dinner at Outback Jacks looked enjoyable and young Charlie's chat was a nice addition. I believe he will do well in his KZbin channel too.

Kangaroo is bloody great mate, it's the leanest red meat you can eat

[@WestAussieBackyardNature]

I've been watching since you landed Lee & glad to see you've experienced the heat of a Perth Summer..but hopefully you can appreciate it at a cooler temp too before taking off. Yes, it's a more laid back state here thankfully. Clean too like most of Oz. $48 is too rich for my blood for a steak. Plus I much prefer a Scotch Fillet ..aka boneless Rib Eye. Get yourself an Akubra or something similar for sun protection mate 👍👍 The beaches are the best in Australia too. Cape Le Grande in Esperance is on another level though! Lucky Bay voted the world's best beach in 2023. Whitest sand in Australia also...with Kangaroo's 🦘🦘 that visit it daily. It's a 7hr drive or direct flight is 1hr 35.

When you pay for anything in Oz is tax added like in USA? Also how is the tipping? Is it crazy like its become with tips added automatically to your bill?

[@stevetarrant3898]

10% sales tax, (GST) it's added to the price, so there's no surprises at the register. And we don't do tipping here in Australia. Some places charge a bit extra on Sundays or public holidays. They usually have a sign explaining the extra.

[@wonton8983]

We have millions of Kangaroo's all free range grass fed and better for the environment than cattle. Best I've eaten has been slow roasted rather than from a hot plate. The gamey taste is normal after a few mouthfuls and it's very healthy. 6x less fat, twice as much iron and has Omega3.

I can get grass-fed beef easily here in Florida though not as easily as grain-finished. Whether it’s better is a matter of taste: the mix of fatty acids in the fat of the grass-fed is probably better for me, the animals probably died in good metabolic health whereas the grain-finished quite possibly didn’t, and there’s a difference in flavor that I personally barely notice. I can’t get camel or kangaroo or emu here… possibly there’s a halal butcher shop within 100 miles of me in Miami that has frozen Australian camel, but I’m too lazy to check. Camels are taking over much of Australia and it is the duty of every Australian and I think every visitor to eat at least some of them! They’re not quite as invasive as feral olive trees but they’re an ongoing problem that’s steadily getting worse!
