  1. FLUFFY MILLET

    Place a pot over a medium heat. When hot, toast the millet and ½ of the Cajun Rub for 2-3 minutes until starting to turn gold, shifting occasionally. Pour in 150ml of salted water and cover with a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and gently simmer for 10-12 minutes until the water has been absorbed and the millet is cooked. If it starts to dry out, add more water in small increments to continue cooking. On completion, drain if necessary and return to the pot. Fluff up with a fork and toss through a drizzle of oil. Cover to keep warm and set aside until serving.

  2. VIBRANT WARM SALSA

    Place a pan on a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot add the drained corn and drained kidney beans. Fry for 3-4 minutes until the corn is browning and kidney beans are warmed through. Remove from the pan on completion, place in a bowl and cover to keep warm until serving.

  3. SIZZLING STEAK

    Wipe down the pan if necessary and return it to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat dry the ostrich steak with some paper towel. When the pan is hot, fry the steak for 6-7 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.) During the final 1-2 minutes, baste with the grated garlic and the remaining Cajun Rub. Place in a piece of tinfoil, with any pan juices. Close up tightly and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing and seasoning, reserving the juices for serving.

  4. LIMEY AVO & SALSA FINALE

    Halve the avocado and set aside the half containing the pip for another meal. Scoop out the avocado flesh from the remaining half and cut into bite-sized chunks. Place in a bowl and add a squeeze of lime juice, a pinch of zest and some seasoning - all to taste. Gently toss until the avocado pieces are coated. In the bowl with corn mixture, add the shredded leaves, white spring onion slices and chopped piquanté peppers. Add 10ml of olive oil, a squeeze of lime juice, any remaining zest, toss to combine and season to taste.

  5. GET READY TO FEAST...

    Make a bed of millet, lay over the smoky steak slices, and drizzle with the reserved meat juices. Side with the salsa and zesty avocado pieces. Garnish with the green spring onion slices, the chopped coriander, and any remaining lime wedge. Nice work, Chef!
