Ingredients
- 500 grams ostrich cubes
- 2 tbsps ghee butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 shallots, sliced

Toppings

Instructions
- Cook the Broccoli: In a large pan, heat ½ tbsp olive oil and sauté the broccoli with minced garlic until tender and slightly golden. Set aside.
- Sear the Ostrich:In the same pan, add ghee and the remaining olive oil. Sauté shallots until translucent, then add ostrich cubes. Cook on medium-high heat until browned on all sides and cooked through (about 6–8 minutes). Season with salt, pepper, and optional spices.
- Make the Salad:Toss shredded kale and tomato with olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Let it sit for a few minutes to soften the kale.

Notes
Notes
- Ostrich cooks quickly—avoid overcooking to keep it tender.
- Swap broccoli for green beans or zucchini if you prefer.
- Make it dairy-free by using plant-based yogurt and oil instead of ghee.
