GET READY TO ROAST
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the beetroot pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).
FLAVOUR!
In a bowl, combine the Asian sauce, the chopped chilli (to taste), the grated garlic, the grated ginger, and 10ml of water. Set aside.
THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE SEED
Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
GORGEOUS GREENS
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the onion wedges, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the baby marrow chunks and fry until slightly softened, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the heat, season, and set aside.
SIZZLIN’ STEAKS
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 (shifting occasionally). In the final 1-2 minutes, pour in and baste with ½ the Asian sauce mixture. Remove from the pan, reserving the pan juices. Season and set aside.
MARINATED MARROWS
Add the remaining Asian sauce to the baby marrow and the onions. Return the pan to medium heat and fry for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.
