  1. CARROT MASH

    Boil the kettle. Place the carrot pieces in a pot of salted water. Bring to the boil and cook until soft, 25-30 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Stir in the spring onion whites, a knob of butter (optional), and a splash of water or milk (optional). Mash with a fork, season, and cover.

  2. FOR THE FINALE

    In a bowl, loosen the chimichurri with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Set aside.

  3. TOASTY SEEDS

    Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  4. CHARRED CORN

    Return the pan to high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the corn until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside in a salad bowl.

  5. JUICY STEAK

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the ostrich until browned, 2-3 minutes per side (for medium-rare). In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.

  6. BBQ GOODNESS

    Return the pan to high heat and deglaze with a splash of water. When hot, fry the sliced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 1-2 minutes, stir through the BBQ sauce and a knob of butter (optional). Remove from the heat, cover, and set aside.

  7. ONE LAST STEP

    Toss the shredded leaves, the spring onion greens, the crumbled feta, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning through the corn. Set aside.

  8. DINNER IS SERVED

    Lay down the ostrich steak slices, side with the BBQ onions, and drizzle over the chimichurri. Pile up the carrot mash and serve the charred corn salad on the side. Garnish with the toasted pumpkin seeds. Lasso it in, Chef!
