Ostrich Fillet Provençal
with mint-tzatziki slaw & golden sweet potato
Did you know that “Provençal” refers to a place in Southeastern France called Provence? This fragrant ostrich fillet is seasoned with the herbs typically used in this area! It sits atop a bed of roasted sweet potatoes and onion, and alongside a little Mediterranean flair of tzatziki and mint slaw, a kick of fresh chili, and crunchy leaves. Scatterings of toasted pecans and fresh mint to end off this flavoursome delight.

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.
TIME FOR A TOAST!
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 ¾ of the chopped mint in a bowl. Pour in 2 tsp of olive oil and ½ 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 heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Ostrich steak dry with paper towel. When the pan is hot, fry the steak for 8-10 minutes, shifting and turning as it colours 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 the steak with a knob of butter and the Provençal rub. Remove from the pan on completion, reserving any pan juices, and set aside. Allow 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.
