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!

SOOTHING SPRING IRRITATION

As the seasons change, your skin works overtime to adapt. Spring allergies release histamines in your body, which can lead to redness, itching, and puffiness—especially around the eyes and nose. On top of that, time spent outdoors increases your exposure to environmental stressors like wind, dust, and UV rays. These factors can weaken your skin barrier, leading to flare-ups, dryness, or even eczema-like symptoms.
