This is fast food ... but oh so healthy! If you have never eaten ostrich before, this is the way to savour the tender, succulent meat at its best. The low fat content naturally means that cooking should be quick and the meat should be served pink - it is far better to undercook than overcook an ostrich steak. We recommend using nothing more than olive oil, a little sea salt and freshly ground black pepper - and with a quick flash fry the public can see and taste for themselves this delicious delicacy. Here are some more ideas which are just as simple to prepare and do present a lovely dish.
