Method

1
To cook the ostrich steaks, heat the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the ostrich steaks until the outside is lightly crsp and caramelised, for about 2 minutes per side. If using a meat thermometer, the meat should reach 63°C inside. Remove the ostrich steaks from the pan and allow to rest in a warm place
2
Add another knob of butter to the pan and add the onion and garlic. Cook until a light gold colour, then pour in the wine. the stock and the thyme. Allow to simmer and reduce by half – the sauce should look smooth and glossy
3
Add the mushrooms, cook on a low heat for another 2 minutes then pour in the cream, mixing well. Taste for salt and pepper, switch off the heat and spoon the sauce over the steaks to serve
