HOW TO COOK OSTRICH MEAT
The meat is simple to prepare. Due to its low fat content, ostrich cooks more quickly then beef, up to 1/3 less time. Never cook ostrich more than a medium. It should be red in the center when you cut into it. Internal temperature when a roast is ready is 160 f. Rare steaks are 125 F and medium at 150F. Ostrich meat is higher in iron then beef so its naturally more red in color even when cooked. It's best to use a meat thermoneter. Ground ostrich meat can be used just like beef keeping in mind there is virtually no fat or shrinkage when cooking. Try it for spaghetti, tacos and burgers.
Summer is always fun at the farm, the birds are a pleasure to work with.
