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.
