ROASTING TIME!
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the sweet potato chunks and onion wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, season to taste, and spread out evenly. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.
TOASTING TIME!
Place the pecan nuts in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden-brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle.
TZATZIKI SLAW
Place the shredded cabbage, the tzatziki, and three-quarters of the sliced basil in a bowl. Pour in 2 tsp of olive oil and half of the cab sauv vinegar. Add the sliced chilli to taste and toss until coated. Season to taste and set aside until serving.
FRY THE FILLET
Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich steak dry with paper towel. When the pan is hot, fry the steak for 4-5 minutes, shifting and turning as it colours until browned all over but not cooked through. During the final minute, use a knob of butter and the Provençal Rub to baste the steak. Remove from the pan and place in the oven on the tray of roast veg, reserving the pan juices for serving. Roast for 3-4 minutes until cooked through to your preference. (The time frame recommended will yield a medium-rare result.) Remove from the oven on completion and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing. Lightly season the slices.
JUST BEFORE SERVING...
Place the rinsed salad leaves in a bowl with the remaining cab sauv vinegar. Add a drizzle of olive oil and toss to coat.
FRENCH-FLAVOURED FEAST!
Plate up some roast sweet potato and onion, top with the sliced ostrich fillet, and drizzle over the pan juices to taste. Side with the tzatziki slaw and scatter over the chopped, toasted pecans and remaining sliced basil. Sprinkle over some remaining fresh chilli to taste, if you’d like. Serve with the dressed leaves on the side. Bon appétit!
