This recipe will be nothing but a smooth ride – from the browned ostrich basted in butter, the oven roasted medley of beetroot & carrots, the nutty salad, to the horseradish sauce that is drizzled over for a final flavour flair.

VAMPED UP VEG
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the beetroot pieces and the carrot wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).
NUTS ABOUT NUTS
Place the chopped almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
ADD SOME FRESHNESS
In a bowl, toss together the rinsed leaves, ½ the toasted nuts, the vinegar, a sweetener, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside.
BROWNED OSTRICH
Return the pan to 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.
SIMPLE & SIMPLY DELICIOUS
Plate up the ostrich slices alongside the roasted veg and serve the dressed salad on the side. Drizzle the horseradish sauce over the meat and the beetroot. Finish with a scattering of the remaining toasted nuts.
