MARINATED OSTRICH STEAK
We raise ostriches on our farm on the eastern shore of Maryland, so we have an abundance of meat on hand to use for a variety of dishes. It's a lean meat that tastes similar to beef. My mother-in-law gave me this marinade recipe, and I've used it with a number of meats.

SPICED POT ROAST
I ALWAYS looked forward to Sunday dinner at my grandparents' house, because Grandmother was the best cook anywhere. All her meals were delicious, but I especially loved dinners featuring this savory pot roast. It's wonderful with garden-fresh vegetables on the side and a dessert made with apples. -Frances Wilson, Tulsa, Oklahoma

ROAST OSTRICH
One of my Cousins, Duane, and my Great Auntie Elsa used to have an ostrich ranch here in Alberta, Canada. I had ostrich on more than 1 occasion and really enjoyed it, but people just couldn't grasp eating this exotic bird so the ranch is no longer. I dug for this Australian recipe and I really hope that you enjoy it. Ostrich is a red meat that is very low in fat (lower than white chicken meat I've been told) but high in a flavour that is not "strange" or gamey at all. You can substitute a beef roast because I know many people might have a hard time finding ostrich. Enjoy!

OSTRICH STEAKS WITH CALVADOS SAUCE
Ostrich and venison are the two meats with the lowest fat contents. Try this for a simple change. Gentle cooking is best (cooking too fast will turn the steaks leathery), and we aim for rare or medium. I like mine rare, and turn when the outside begins (just) to caramelise. A definite hit with my guests every time I do it. If you can get Creme Fraiche then fine, but try to avoid any CF that is labeled 'light'. This curdles when heated. You can thicken the sauce if you like by using less stock. Serve with rice or potatoes and some tasty vegetables.

Steps:
- Heat the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the ostrich steaks in the 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. Remove the ostrich steaks from the pan, and keep warm.
- Pour the beef stock into the skillet, and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for a few minutes until slightly reduced, then lower the heat to medium-low, and stir in the creme fraiche. Cook and stir 2 minutes, then pour in the Calvados, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Season each ostrich steak with pepper to taste. Spoon the sauce over the steaks to serve.

Tips:
- To ensure the ostrich meat is tender and juicy, marinate it for at least 24 hours before cooking.
- Use a sharp knife to score the ostrich meat before roasting, as this will help the marinade penetrate and the meat cook more evenly.
- Roast the ostrich meat at a high temperature for a short period of time to create a flavorful crust, then reduce the temperature and continue roasting until the meat is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Let the ostrich meat rest for 10-15 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Serve the ostrich meat with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
Conclusion:
Spicy ostrich roast is a delicious and unique dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. With its tender meat and flavorful marinade, this dish is a perfect choice for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner.
