  1. BUBBLING AWAY

    Place the halved baby potatoes in a pot of salted water over a high heat. Pop on a lid and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove the lid and reduce the heat. Allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes until cooked through and soft. Remove from the heat on completion, drain, and set aside.

  2. PICKLE MOMENT

    In a bowl, combine ½ the red wine vinegar, 20ml of water, ½ tsp of a sweetener of choice and a pinch of salt. Mix until the sweetener has fully dissolved. Add the sliced red onion and toss until fully coated. Set aside to pickle.

  3. SUMPTUOUS STEAK

    Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich steak dry with some paper towel. When the pan is hot, fry the steak for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned all over and cooked to your preference. In the final 1-2 minutes, use a knob of butter and the rub to baste the steak. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing. Lightly season the slices.

  4. FINISHING TOUCHES

    In a bowl, add the cooked baby potatoes, the creamy mayo, ½ the chopped mint, seasoning, and the remaining vinegar. Toss until fully combined. In a salad bowl, add the onions with some of the pickling liquid (to taste), along with 5ml of olive oil, and some seasoning. Mix until fully combined. Add the rinsed green leaves, the diced cucumber, and seasoning. Toss until fully coated.

  5. PLATE IT UP

    Plate up the dressed leaves and cucumber. Top with the watermelon pieces, the remaining mint leaves and the drained feta. Serve alongside the steak slices and the potato salad. Tuck in!
