  1. MARINATION STATION

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a bowl, combine the citrus juice, ¾ of the Mexican spice mix, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Add the ostrich steak and toss until coated. Set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. GRAB YOUR TIN HAT

    Coat the corn with a drizzle of oil or knob of butter and seasoning. Wrap the corn in a piece of tinfoil and place on a baking tray. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through, shifting halfway.

  3. CRUNCHY & CREAMY

    Halve the avocado and remove the pip. Peel off the avocado skin, keeping the flesh intact. Slice the flesh lengthways into wedges. Prepare a shallow dish containing the breadcrumbs, seasoning, and a drizzle of oil. Coat the avo wedges in the breadcrumbs. Press the crumb into each wedge so it coats evenly. Place on a baking tray in a single layer and bake in the hot oven for 12-15 minutes until crispy and golden.

  4. SIMPLE SALSA

    In a bowl, combine the diced tomato, the diced onion (to taste), the chopped jalapeño (to taste), ½ the picked coriander, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Set aside.

  5. STEAK ME HOME

    Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the steak, reserving the marinade in the bowl, for 2-3 minutes per side or until browned all over and cooked to your preference. (The time frame recommended will yield a medium-rare result.) In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter and the reserved marinade. Remove from the pan, reserving the pan juice, and rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing. Lightly season.

  6. MEXCELLENT CORN

    When the corn is done, smear ½ the sour cream on the roasted corn. Sprinkle over the grated cheese, the remaining Mexican spice mix (to taste), and the remaining coriander.

  7. ALL DONE!

    Plate up the ostrich slices and drizzle over any reserved pan juices. Side with the Mexican street corn and the crispy avo fries. Serve with the tomato salsa and the remaining sour cream for dipping. Wow, Chef!
