Serve sliced ostrich en croute with crushed potatoes and a drizzle of red wine sauce.

Process flour and butter into breadcrumbs, then pulse with one egg and water to form a dough and chill.

Sear seasoned ostrich steak with rosemary and crushed garlic in hot oil, then remove and set meat aside.

Preheat your oven to 180°C.
