Ostrich Steak & Feta Sauce

Feta can be used for so much more than just crumbling into a salad. Like this dinnertime highlight: a beautiful feta & white cheddar bechamel sauce. This delectable liquid is poured over juicy ostrich steak slices, a rich butter bean mash, and a zesty veggie medley of shredded kale & onion petals. Garnished with toasted pumpkin seeds.

  1. TOAST

    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.

  2. ONION PETALS & KALE

    Separate the layers of the onion wedges into petals. Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the onion petals until lightly golden, 4-5 minutes. Add the shredded kale and fry until wilted, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan, add a squeeze of the lemon juice (to taste), and season.

  3. SILKY MASH

    Place a pot over medium-high heat with the rinsed beans and 40ml of milk (optional) or water. Once boiling, remove from the heat and stir in a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter (optional). Place in a blender or mash with a fork until the desired consistency. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk (optional) or water. Season and cover.

  4. STEAK

    Return the pan to 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. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.

  5. FETA SAUCE

    Place a small pot over medium heat with 15g of butter. Once melted, add the grated garlic and the flour. Cook until lightly golden, 1-2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk until the sauce thickens. Loosen with a splash of water if it’s too thick. Add the drained feta and the grated cheese. Cook until melted and chunky. Remove from the heat.

  6. TIME TO DINE

    Plate up the butter bean mash. Side with the kale & onion, and the steak slices. Drizzle over the feta sauce, and garnish with the toasted pumpkin seeds. Finish off with a squeeze of lemon juice.
