Stuffed Ostrich Fillet

Stuffed Ostrich Fillet

Fillet is the king of all meat cuts, and it is no different with an ostrich fillet. The meat is tender, full of subtle flavour and can be cooked to any desired temperature, but rare to medium-rare is best. Do not take your eye off the meat while it is cooking as 2-3 minutes per side is enough.
