MAKE THE MASH
Place the potato pieces in a pot of salted water. Bring to the boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and a splash of water or milk (optional). Mash with a fork, season, and cover.
PREP STEP
Boil the kettle. Submerge the peas in boiling water until plump, 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
SIDE SALAD
In a salad bowl, combine the lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning. Toss through the shredded salad leaves, the cucumber half-moons, and the peas.
FRY THE OSTRICH
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. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
BUTTER SAUCE
Place 20g of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. When the butter starts to foam, add the grated garlic and cook until the butter is golden and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir through the chopped parsley.
DISH UP
Plate up the ostrich steak slices and side with the herby butter sauce. Serve with the mashed potato and the dressed salad. Finish off with a crack of black pepper. Dig in, Chef!
