Ingredients

6 Ostrich Filets

Black pepper

3 tbsp olive oil

Kosher salt

Sauce:

2 cups cranberries

1 cup diced white onion

2 garlic cloves

1 cup packed light brown sugar

1 cup red wine vinegar

2 cups dark ale or lager beer

1 cup Worcestershire sauce

1 cup soy sauce


Preparation

Sauce Preparation: 

Combine all sauce ingredients in a stainless steel saucepan and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened and reduced slightly, about 1 hour.

Working in batches, place sauce in a blender and process until smooth. Be careful to start blender at a low speed and allow steam to escape. Strain sauce through a fine mesh strainer and set aside. It will keep, covered, in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.

 

Steak Preparation:

Remove ostrich from refrigerator 30 minutes to 1 hour before cooking.

Warm a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season steak with salt and pepper to taste.

Working in batches, add 1 tablespoon oil to pan and sear 2 steaks until deep golden, about 4 minutes. When steak releases easily from pan, flip and continue cooking about 3 minutes more for medium rare.

For first two batches, remove and keep warm in a 250-degree F oven; meanwhile, repeat cooking process with remaining oil and steaks. 

Place steaks on plates, and spoon sauce on the side.  Bon appétit!

HOW TO RESET YOUR SKIN AT THE END OF SUMMER

By late August most people's skin is more dehydrated, more reactive, and more dull than it was in May. The barrier has been depleted over a full season of exposure and fall conditions are about to make things harder. The good news is that a reset does not have to be complicated. In most cases it means doing less, not more.
