READY TO ROAST?
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the sweet potato wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, ½ the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Roast in the oven until cooked through and crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).
PICKLE & SALAD
In a bowl, combine the vinegar, 1 tbsp of water, seasoning, and a sweetener. Mix until the sweetener is dissolved. Toss through the cucumber matchsticks and set aside. Just before serving, discard the pickling liquid and add the rinsed salad leaves, the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning to the bowl with the cucumber. Toss until combined.
YOU CAN WITH PECANS
Place the chopped pecans in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
FRY THE STEAK
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the ostrich until browned and cooked to your preference, 3-4 minutes per side. In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter and the remaining NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
