  1. ROAST BUTTERNUT

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the butternut half-moons on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. CHERRY TOMATO SAUCE

    Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the rinsed tomatoes, the grated garlic, and the rinsed rosemary sprigs until the tomatoes are blistered, 5-6 minutes. Press the tomatoes down with the back of a wooden spoon until saucy. Add the balsamic vinegar and simmer, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and discard the rosemary sprigs. Add a sweetener (to taste) and seasoning.

  3. KALE PREP

    Place the shredded kale in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Using your hands, massage until softened and coated.

  4. CRISPY LENTILS

    When the butternut has been roasting for 10-15 minutes, coat the rinsed lentils in oil and seasoning. Scatter the lentils and the kale over the butternut and roast for the remaining time until crispy.

  5. SIZZLING STEAK

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

  6. TIME TO DINE

    Plate up the roasted veggies alongside the baby tomato sauce and top the sauce with the steak slices. Crumble over the drained feta and dollop the chimichurri sauce over everything. Enjoy, Chef!
