FAQS
What is the best way to cook ostrich fillet?
Ostrich fillet is best cooked quickly on high heat, such as grilling or pan-searing, to keep it tender.
Can I use regular black pepper instead of lemon & black pepper spice?
Yes, you can use regular black pepper and add a bit of lemon zest for a similar flavor.
How do I know when the potatoes are soft enough to mash?
The potatoes are ready to mash when a fork can easily pierce through them.
Why should I let the ostrich fillet rest before cutting?
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat more tender and flavorful.
