  1. DON’T WAIT - MARINATE!

    Pat the ostrich dry with paper towel. In a bowl, combine 150ml of the beer, the rub, ½ the lemon zest, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Add the ostrich steak and toss until coated. Cover and set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. NO LOAFING AROUND

    In a small bowl, combine the grated garlic, ½ the chopped parsley, the remaining lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice, seasoning, and 20ml of oil. Place the halved baguette, cut-side down, on a chopping board and cut 4 horizontal incisions along the top of the baguette - don’t cut all the way through! Smear each incision with the garlic oil. If you’re using the Weber, wrap the bread in tinfoil.

  3. WEBER BRAAI OPTION

    Once the coals are ready on the Weber and your grid is cleaned down, place the wrapped garlic bread over a cooler area of the coals. Braai for 10-15 minutes until browned and heated through, turning every 5 minutes. Place the marinated ostrich steak (reserving the marinade in the bowl) over the hottest area of the coals. Braai for 4-5 minutes for rare, 5-7 minutes for medium-rare, or 7-8 minutes for medium. Flip and baste the steak with the reserved marinade every 2 minutes. Remove from the grid and rest for 5 minutes. Season and thinly slice.

  4. STOVE-TOP OPTION

    If you’re cooking on the stove-top, place a pan or griddle pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the steak (reserving the marinade in the bowl) for 2-3 minutes per side or until browned all over and cooked to your preference. In the final 1-2 minutes, add the reserved marinade and baste the steak. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning. While the steak is resting, return the pan to a medium-high heat. When hot, add the garlic bread and brown for 5-8 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes.

  5. YOU’RE SUCH A TRUFFLE MAKER!

    In a salad bowl, combine the rinsed green leaves, the drained feta, the crispy onions, the halved baby tomatoes, the truffle vinaigrette (to taste), a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Set aside.

  6. LEKKER DINNER

    Plate up the ostrich slices. Sprinkle over the remaining parsley. Side with the dressed salad, the garlic bread, and any remaining lemon wedges. Cheers, Chef!
