Steps:

Marinate well-drained and patted dry mandarin segments in Grand Marnier for as long as possible (2-3 days would be good but 4 hours minimum), turning regularly.
Drain liquid off mandarins and add liquid to all other marinade ingredients.
Combine well and reduce by 50% if using fresh orange juice, otherwise leave as is.
Cut kangaroo (or beef) fillets into 20-25mm thick diagonal slices (cut across the grain).
Pat sliced kangaroo steaks dry and add half the marinade to a shallow dish.
Add steaks& pour over remaining marinade and refrigerate turning occasionally.
Remove steaks from refrigerator 2 hours before cooking and turn meat.
Grill steaks for 10-15 minutes, until medium cooked DO NOT OVERCOOK AND TOUGHEN.
Meanwhile, reduce leftover marinade in a pan on a low heat, and when reduced add marinated mandarin segments and toss lightly.
Heat through and serve over steaks with boiled rice and a side salad of 3 or 4 different lettuces.
Make a dressing of balsamic vinegar, lemon juice and concentrated orange juice, seasoned with freshly crushed pepper and a little Grand Marnier.
