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).
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.
CRISPY CHICKPEAS
When the butternut has been roasting for 10 minutes, coat the rinsed chickpeas in oil and seasoning. Scatter the chickpeas over the butternut and roast for the remaining time until crispy.
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.
SOME FRESHNESS
In a salad bowl, combine the rinsed green leaves, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
TIME TO DINE
Plate up the roasted veggies alongside the cherry tomato sauce. Top the sauce with the steak slices. Side with the green salad and crumble over the drained feta. Dollop the chimichurri sauce over everything. Enjoy, Chef!
