Seared ostrich fillet and baked pear salad

By Abigail Donnelly
2
Easy
25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 pears
  • Butter
  • 4 t brown sugar
  • 200 g ostrich fillet
  • 1 T olive oil
  • Rocket
  • Balsamic

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Halve pears and top with a knob of butter, brown sugar and thyme. Roast for 15 minutes or until caramelised but still slightly firm.
In a pan over a high heat, sear ostrich fillet in olive oil for 5 to 10 minutes or until cooked to your liking.
Arrange the pears on plates, top with thick slices of warm ostrich fillet, a scattering of rocket and a good drizzle of sticky balsamic glaze.
