Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Ostrich steaks
- 4 (6-8 oz each)
- Olive oil
- 1/4 cup
- Balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup
- Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons
- Garlic
- 4 cloves, minced
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar until well combined to create the marinade.
- Place the ostrich steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and let the steaks marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.
- Preheat your grill to high heat, ensuring that the grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
- Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C).
- Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Slice against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.
