POP IN THE ROASTIES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the sweet potato chunks on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crisping up.
TOAST THE SEEDS
Place a nonstick pan 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.
SMOKY CARAMELISED ONIONS
Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion for 9-12 minutes until soft and caramelised, shifting occasionally. At the halfway mark, mix in the Coffee Rub and a sweetener of choice (both to taste). Remove from the pan on completion, cover to keep warm, and set aside for serving.
YOU’RE HALFWAY!
When the roasties reach the halfway mark, remove from the oven and drizzle over the truffle oil. Give them a shift and return to the oven for the remaining cooking time. Pat the ostrich dry with paper towel. Return the pan to a medium heat with another drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the steak for 6-8 minutes, shifting as it colours until browned and cooked to your preference. (The time frame recommended will yield a medium-rare result.) During the final minute, baste with a knob of butter (optional). Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing. Lightly season the slices.
A BOWL OF TANGY SALAD
For the dressing, place the vinegar in a bowl and whisk in 2 tsp of olive oil until well combined. Add in the rinsed rocket, the cucumber half-moons, and three-quarters of the toasted seeds. Season and toss to coat.
STEAKHOUSE-STYLE!
Dish up the truffled roasties alongside the juicy ostrich steak slices. Either pile the coffee-caramelised onions on top of the steak, or serve on the side. Plate up some peppery rocket salad and garnish with the chopped parsley and the remaining sunflower seeds. Excellent work, Chef!
