Besides its taste, one of the best things about chimichurri is that this delicious sauce doesn’t even need to be cooked! You will elevate the flavours of both the cheesy garlic bread and the rest of the meal with dollops of this amazing Argentinian condiment. Featuring pan-seared ostrich fillet, basted with butter, and a nutty side salad with fresh greens, sweet pickled peppers & onions, and crunchy almonds.

GORGEOUS Garlic BREAD
Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a small bowl, combine 20g [40g]|#7DA0D7 of melted butter and the Garlic. In a separate bowl, loosen the chimichurri with 10ml [20ml]|#7DA0D7 of olive oil. Cut 4-5 incisions along the top of the baguette - don’t cut all the way through! Smear each incision with the garlic butter. Place the baguette directly onto a hot oven rack and an oven-proof dish with water onto the oven floor. Bake until light brown and crispy, 10-12 minutes.
TOAST
Place the Almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
FINISH IT OFF
When the bread has 2-3 minutes remaining, spoon ½ the loosened chimichurri into the incisions and top with the cheese. Return to the oven for the remaining time until the cheese is melted.
REFRESHING SALAD
In a salad bowl, toss together the green leaves, the pickled onions, the pickled peppers, the nuts, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. In a small bowl, combine the mayo with the remaining chimichurri, and loosen with water in 5ml increments until a drizzling consistency.
SEARED 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.
