GOLDEN CARROTS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the carrot wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
PREP STEP
While the carrots are roasting, peel and grate the garlic. Rinse the green leaves. Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
IT’S WINE O’CLOCK
When the carrots have 15 minutes remaining, return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the wine and simmer until almost all evaporated, 1-3 minutes. Pour in the tomato passata and 100ml of water. Simmer until reduced and thickened, 3-4 minutes. Season, add a sweetener (to taste), and cover.
SIZZLING STEAK
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the ostrich until browned, 2-3 minutes per side (for medium-rare). In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter (optional). Set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
FOR THE FRESHNESS
In a bowl, combine the rinsed green leaves, the lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
