Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce OR 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme
- 4 ostrich steaks 4-5 oz each
Instructions
- Get your ostrich fillets ready to go and defrost before you begin if they are frozen, ideally in the fridge overnight.
- Combine the minced garlic, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and one tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl and mix to create a seasoning rub.
- Apply seasoning to both sides of the ostrich fillets, ensuring even coverage. The seasoning will flavor the meat and help it retain moisture when you fry or grill the steaks.
- Cover the steaks and leave them in the fridge for 2 to 5 hours.
- Remove the fillets from the fridge and let them stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking.
- Gently heat a splash of olive oil in a heavy frying pan.
- Add the ostrich fillets and fry until both sides are browned, but the steak is still rare to medium-rare. If the pan heat is high, this could take 3 minutes each side (6 minutes total) for rare and 5 minutes each side (10 minutes total) for medium
- Remove the fillets from the pan and season with salt to taste.
- Garnish with sprigs of thyme before serving.
Notes
- Although the time may seem long, the preparation is incredibly simple. Defrost frozen ostrich overnight in the refrigerator, and allow the seasoned meat to rest in the refrigerator a few hours to really develop flavor.
