Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 10 mins Ready Time: 15 mins


• heat the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. cook the ostrich steaks in the hot butter until the outside is just about to be crisp, shown by darkening patches as with a beef steak, about 2 minutes per side. an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees f (63 degrees c) for rare. remove the ostrich steaks from the pan, and keep warm.
• pour the beef stock into the skillet, and bring to a boil over high heat. boil for a few minutes until slightly reduced, then lower the heat to medium-low, and stir in the creme fraiche. cook and stir 2 minutes, then pour in the calvados, and season to taste with salt and pepper. season each ostrich steak with pepper to taste. spoon the sauce over the steaks to serve.
