DON’T WAIT - MARINATE!
Pat the ostrich dry with paper towel. In a bowl, combine 150ml of the beer, the NOMU rub, ½ the lemon zest, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Add the ostrich steak and toss until coated. Cover and set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
NO LOAFING AROUND
In a small bowl, combine the grated garlic, ½ the chopped parsley, the remaining lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice, seasoning, and 20ml of oil. Place the baguette on a chopping board and cut 4 horizontal incisions along the top - don’t cut all the way through! Smear each incision with the garlic oil.
SIZZLING STEAK & CRISPY GARLIC BREAD
Place a pan or griddle pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the steak (reserving the marinade in the bowl) until browned, 2-3 minutes per side (for medium-rare). In the final 1-2 minutes, add the reserved marinade and baste the steak. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning. While the steak is resting, return the pan to medium-high heat. When hot, fry the garlic bread until browned and crispy, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.
YOU’RE SUCH A TRUFFLE MAKER!
In a salad bowl, combine the rinsed green leaves, the drained feta, the crispy onions, the halved baby tomatoes, the truffle vinaigrette (to taste), a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside.
LEKKER DINNER
Plate up the ostrich slices. Sprinkle over the remaining parsley. Side with the dressed salad, the garlic bread, and any remaining lemon wedges. Cheers, Chef!
