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