Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of this recipe. You’re gonna need the following ingredients:
- 4 ostrich steaks
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup Calvados (or apple brandy)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Fresh thyme leaves for garnish
Now that we’ve got our ingredients lined up, let’s jump into the steps to create your culinary masterpiece:
- First things first, bring those ostrich steaks to room temperature. Season them generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Trust me, it makes a difference!
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once it’s shimmering, add the steaks and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on how you like your steak cooked. Remove them from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, toss in the onions and sauté them for about 3 minutes until they’re soft. Then add the garlic and let it go for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the Calvados, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes to reduce a bit.
- Next, stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Mix it all together and let it simmer on low for about 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Once the sauce is ready, return the ostrich steaks to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let everything heat through for another couple of minutes.
- Time to plate! Serve the steaks with a drizzle of that luxurious Calvados sauce. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves for some color and added flavor.
And there you have it! A gourmet meal right in your own kitchen. Pair these ostrich steaks with some roasted veggies or a nice salad, and you’re ready for a feast that’ll satisfy all! Enjoy!
