Ostrich is the new Beef

Well not really, but for my family it is. I've decided to cut down on red meat, ie, Beef, Pork and Lamb in favour of lighter meats such as Chicken, Fish and Seafood. And Ostrich. In my family we all like our red meat rare and ostrich can be cooked lightly and eaten rare, and served with a sauce as you would serve a beef steak. It is low in fat and tastes delicious. And it's MUCH cheaper than Beef. I paid the equivalent of $7 a kg.

Last night I made little steaks with a brown mushroom and cream sauce. I serves it with Rosti potatoes and Avocado on the side. OK the cream was not such a healthy option, but nobody's perfect.
