SWEET, SWEET ROAST
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the sweet potato chunks on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.
TOSS ’N TOAST!
Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool. Place the rinsed salad leaves and cucumber half-moons in a bowl. Add a drizzle of olive oil and some seasoning, toss to coat, and set aside for serving.
WILT THE SPINACH
When the sweet potato reaches the halfway mark, return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sauté the shredded spinach for 3-4 minutes until wilted. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside.
NOW, MAKE IT CREAMY
Wipe down the pan and return to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the grated garlic and fry for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, shifting constantly. Return the spinach to the pan and add in the crème fraîche. Stir until the spinach is reheated and the crème fraîche has loosened. Transfer to a bowl, cover to keep warm, and set aside for serving.
FRAGRANT FILLET
Wipe down the pan and return to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich dry with paper towel. When the pan is hot, fry for 6-8 minutes, shifting and turning until browned all over and cooked to your preference. (This time frame will yield a medium-rare result.) During the final minute, baste with a knob of butter and the Beef Rub. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing. Lightly season the slices.
DELIGHTFUL
Plate the oven-caramelised sweet potato alongside the creamed spinach and juicy ostrich slices. Garnish the salad with the toasted sunflower seeds and serve on the side. Would you look at that, Chef!
