Ostrich Steak
We have an ostrich farm close by to where we live and the meat is top draw.
Cut a couple of baking potatoes into wedges and bake at 200 degrees for 35-40 minutes
In the same oven dish add some chopped peppers for 20 minutes and some baby tomatoes for 10 minutes.
In a frying pan heat some olive oil and goats butter until close to smoking.
Add well seasoned ostrich fillet steak to the pan, three minutes each side. At the same time add a dozen chopped mushrooms to absorb the flavors from the pan.
Remove the ostrich to rest and add 200ml of creme fraische with a tablespoon of paprika and stir through.

Ok - I've never had ostrich - not that plentiful in Canada - can you describe the taste?
Ostrich has a really rich and deep taste. I'd liken it a bit to elk or venison. One key feature of ostrich is that it is very low in fat content. Over here in the UK ostrich farms have become increasingly popular about 10 years ago, whilst some have ceased to exist there is one a few miles from where we live.
