READY THE ROAST
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the beetroot pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).
HONEY, I’M HOME
Spread the baby carrots on a second roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until browned, 15-20 minutes (shifting halfway). In the final 3-4 minutes, coat the carrots in the honey and roast for the remaining time.
BUTTER-BASTED & BROWNED
When the beetroot has 10 minutes remaining, place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the ostrich until browned and cooked to your preference, 2-3 minutes per side. In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
ZESTY CREME
In a small bowl, combine the sour cream with a squeeze of lemon juice, the lemon zest (to taste), a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Set aside.
HUMMUS, GET IN MY TUMMUS
When the beetroot is done, place in a blender. Add the drained chickpeas, the tahini (to taste), 1 tbsp of oil, and a squeeze of lemon juice (to taste). Blend until smooth. Add a splash of water if it’s too thick for your liking. Season.
FRESH & ROASTED VEG
In a bowl, combine the rinsed green leaves, the roasted carrots, the lemon zest (to taste), and a squeeze of lemon juice (to taste).
IT’S ABOUT TIME!
Smear a plate with the beetroot hummus. Top with the steak slices. Side with the carrot salad. Drizzle with the zesty creme. Sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds. Well done, Chef!
