Best Spicy Ostrich Roast Recipes
OSTRICH STEAKS WITH CALVADOS SAUCE
Ostrich and venison are the two meats with the lowest fat contents. Try this for a simple change. Gentle cooking is best (cooking too fast will turn the steaks leathery), and we aim for rare or medium. I like mine rare, and turn when the outside begins (just) to caramelise. A definite hit with my guests every time I do it. If you can get Creme Fraiche then fine, but try to avoid any CF that is labeled 'light'. This curdles when heated. You can thicken the sauce if you like by using less stock. Serve with rice or potatoes and some tasty vegetables.

Steps:
- Heat the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the ostrich steaks in the hot butter until the outside is just about to be crisp, shown by darkening patches as with a beef steak, about 2 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) for rare. Remove the ostrich steaks from the pan, and keep warm.
- Pour the beef stock into the skillet, and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for a few minutes until slightly reduced, then lower the heat to medium-low, and stir in the creme fraiche. Cook and stir 2 minutes, then pour in the Calvados, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Season each ostrich steak with pepper to taste. Spoon the sauce over the steaks to serve.

ROAST OSTRICH
One of my Cousins, Duane, and my Great Auntie Elsa used to have an ostrich ranch here in Alberta, Canada. I had ostrich on more than 1 occasion and really enjoyed it, but people just couldn't grasp eating this exotic bird so the ranch is no longer. I dug for this Australian recipe and I really hope that you enjoy it. Ostrich is a red meat that is very low in fat (lower than white chicken meat I've been told) but high in a flavour that is not "strange" or gamey at all. You can substitute a beef roast because I know many people might have a hard time finding ostrich. Enjoy!

MARINATED OSTRICH STEAK
We raise ostriches on our farm on the eastern shore of Maryland, so we have an abundance of meat on hand to use for a variety of dishes. It's a lean meat that tastes similar to beef. My mother-in-law gave me this marinade recipe, and I've used it with a number of meats.
