Our most special moments happen when we spend time with one another by sharing a delicious meal at the dinner table. And this meal is truly a conversation starter, from the succulent, smoked paprika-infused ostrich steak slices, the homemade pistachio & avo pesto, to the sweet corn, black bean, & piquanté pepper salad.

  1. AVO PESTO

    In a bowl, combine the Avocado, the feta, the spring onion (to taste), the pistachios, a splash of water, and seasoning. Mix with a fork until combined.

  2. Corn

    Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Corn until lightly charred, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. Ostrich

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

  4. TIME TO EAT

    In a salad bowl, combine the lemon juice with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the beans, the charred Corn, the salad leaves, the peppers, and seasoning. Bowl up the salad, top with the steak slices, and dollop over the avo pesto. Garnish with any remaining spring onion. Well done, Chef!
