Follow The Directions

01

Step

Heat clarified butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Cook ostrich steaks in 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. (4 minutes)

03

Step

Remove ostrich steaks from the pan and keep warm.

04

Step

Pour beef stock into the skillet and bring to a boil over high heat. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Boil for a few minutes until slightly reduced, then lower the heat to medium-low and stir in crème fraîche. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Cook and stir for 2 minutes, then pour in Calvados and season with salt and pepper to taste. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Season each ostrich steak with pepper to taste. Spoon the sauce over the steaks to serve.

Ostrich steaks cook quickly, so be mindful not to overcook them. For a richer sauce, consider adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard along with the crème fraîche.
If you don't have Calvados, apple juice can be substituted, but the flavor will be different.
