ROAST
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the halved baby potatoes on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and the Greek salt. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
STEAK
When the roast has 15-20 minutes to go, place a 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, the grated garlic, and the rinsed thyme sprigs. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
BLACK PEPPER SAUCE
Return the pan, wiped down, to medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. Add the pepper & flour and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from the heat and season to taste. Loosen with a splash of warm water if it’s too thick.
FRESH LEAVES
Dress the rinsed leaves with a drizzle of olive oil and season.
TIME TO EAT
Plate up the roasted potatoes, side with the Ostrich slices, drizzle over the pepper sauce, and serve alongside the fresh leaves. Enjoy, Chef!
