  1. WEDGES TO WOW YOU

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the sweet potato wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the Roast Rub, and seasoning to taste. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.

  2. SEEDS, LEEKS & SAUCE PREP

    Boil the kettle. Place a pan that has a lid over a medium heat. When hot, toast the sunflower seeds for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool. Slice the trimmed leeks in half lengthways and rinse thoroughly. Roughly chop and set aside. Dilute the stock with 125ml of boiling water. Make a corn flour slurry by combining the corn flour with ½ tsp of water.

  3. RED, RED WIIIIINE… SAUCE!

    Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the leeks for 4-5 minutes until soft, shifting regularly. Add the grated garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant. Stir in the red wine and cook off the alcohol for 1-2 minutes until the sauce has reduced slightly. Whisk in the diluted stock and the corn flour slurry until well combined. Simmer for 5-6 minutes until thickened, stirring regularly. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and a sweetener of choice. Remove from the heat, cover with the lid, and set aside to keep warm.

  4. JUICY OSTRICH STEAK

    Place a second pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the steak dry with some paper towel. When the pan is hot, fry the steak for 8-10 minutes, shifting and turning until browned all over and cooked to your preference. (The time frame recommended will yield a medium-rare result.) Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing. Lightly season the slices.

  5. FRESHNESS IS THE BUSINESS!

    Toss the rinsed green leaves and toasted sunflower seeds together with a drizzle of oil and some seasoning.

  6. STEAKHOUSE DINNER AT ITS FINEST

    Plate up the roast sweet potato wedges alongside the juicy ostrich steak slices. Pour the delectable red wine sauce over the ostrich and serve the crunchy salad on the side. Beautiful, Chef!
