Raw Ostrich Tip Roast with medley of vegetables

Preparation

  1. Pull your meat out of refrigeration, season, and allow to sit out approximately 2 hours to reach room temperature. 
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and carefully add the roast.
  3. Using tongs (two sets is helpful), cook and turn each side of the meat to reach a nice crispy brown all the way around.
  4. Place meat in a roasting pan with your vegetables and fresh herbs, and cover with a lid or aluminum foil (to create some steam and keep the meat tender & juicy).
  5. Roast at 300F (keep covered) until the coolest internal part of the roast reaches 120F, about 30-40 minutes. 
  6. Remove the meat from the pan and allow to rest covered 10-20 minutes.  This should bring the internal temperature to 130-135F.
  7. Using a meat slicing knife, cut to your desired thickness making sure to cut against the grain.
  8. Serve with your favorite side dishes and enjoy your gorgeous roast ostrich!

The Cuts Chefs Reach For: Ostrich Inside Strip and Top Loin

The fan filet often gets the spotlight, but the ostrich inside strip and top loin are two premium cuts worth getting to know. The inside strip is one of our most tender cuts and needs little more than salt, pepper, and a good sear. The top loin can be roasted whole, cut into medallions, grilled on skewers, or marinated with bold flavors. This guide covers how to cook each one, tips for getting lean ostrich steak just right, and how to choose the cut that fits your next meal.
