ROAST WEDGES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the potato wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).
TRUFFLE & TOAST
In a bowl, combine 10g of butter with the truffle oil and set aside. Place the almonds in a pan (with a lid) over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
FRY THE GREENS
Rinse and finely slice the halved leeks. Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced leeks and the halved green beans until charred, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add a splash of water and cover. Simmer until the water has evaporated, 2-3 minutes. In the final 1-2 minutes, toss in a knob of butter and the grated garlic. Remove from the pan, season, and cover.
ON TO THE OSTRICH
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 the truffle butter. Remove from the pan, wrap up in tinfoil with all the pan juices, and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
TIME TO DINE!
Plate up the golden wedges, and side with the braised green veggies and the fillet slices. Finish with a drizzle of all the juices from the steak and sprinkle over the toasted almonds. Easy, Chef!
