ORZO DELICIOUS
Boil the kettle. Fill a pot for the orzo with 200ml of boiling water and add a pinch of salt. Once boiling, cook the orzo for 7-10 minutes until al dente. Remove from the heat, drain if necessary, and toss through ½ the rub and a drizzle of oil.
QUICK PICKLE
In a small bowl, combine the Dressing, the sliced onion, and seasoning. Set aside to pickle.
SIZZLING STEAK
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Ostrich steak dry with paper towel. When the pan is hot, fry the steak for 3-4 minutes per side, 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, use a knob of butter (optional) and the remaining rub to baste the steak. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing. Lightly season.
KEEP IT FRESH
Drain the pickled onions and reserve the pickling liquid. In a salad bowl, combine the cooked orzo, the chopped pickled peppers, the halved baby tomatoes, the rinsed leaves, ½ the chopped dill, and the pickled onions (to taste). Drizzle over the reserved pickling liquid, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
PLATE UP!
