DISCOVER OSTRICH BURGER PATTIES

Ostrich steak burgers are lean red meat that are low fat and rich in premium flavor. Whole steak cuts are ground to make burgers that are super tender and easy to cook. Each individually sealed 1 pound package contains three pre-made 1/3 pound patties, ready for the grill.

As a rule of thumb, ostrich cooks more quickly than beef and does not need to be cooked to as high a temperature to be safe.  Click Learn More, below, for expert tips on cooking ostrich.

PACKAGED WITH CARE

Many of our first time customers have never had meat shipped directly to their door. These are some of the most common questions we receive about shipping.

Is the meat frozen?
Our meats are flash-frozen immediately after harvest and remain 100% airtight in a state of deep freeze until shipment, at which time they are carefully packaged with sufficient dry ice and renewable insulation to maintain our very high standards of food safety during shipment.

We calculate the amount of dry ice and insulation to use in every package based on the shipping address, shipping service, and the weather likely to be experienced en route to your door.

What if my meat thaws in transit?
While we strive to ensure every order arrives fully frozen, carrier delays do happen. The important thing to remember is that upon arrival, as long as the meat is still cold to the touch, it is perfectly safe and appropriate to put right into your freezer, or fully thaw to cook.

SAFE HANDLING

Buying frozen meat means you will have the extra step of thawing your meat but we promise, thawing ostrich is easy! The three options below are the safest, easiest methods to get fresh meat from the freezer to your plate.

• Pull your filets or ground meat out of the freezer a day ahead of time and give it at least 24 hours in your refrigerator. A pound should take no longer than a day to fully thaw; our 4-6lb Ostrich Tip Roasts can take up to 3 days. Once thawed, meat is safe to use for at least 5 days.
• Craving an awesome ostrich cut but forgot to pull it out to thaw? Thawing in cold water is much faster than the refrigerator, but requires more attention. This method requires a waterproof package or bag to keep water out of your meat. Once thawed, it is recommended that the meat be used right away and not refrozen prior to cooking.
• While we don't recommend it, thawing in the microwave might be your best option if you're in pinch, as it's the fastest thawing method there is. Always cook immediately after thawing and do not refreeze prior to cooking.
