Ostrich steak on top of orzo pasta for dinner tonight. Not bad, but I overdid the orzo. Ostrich was perfect though.

Edit: Picture would help....

Never had ostrich. Looks good. Gamey?!

Not really. Mild flavor, incredibly tender for how little fat there is. I under-seasoned, but it was my first time cooking it, so I wasn't sure how it would take to spices. I wanted to get a good experience of the meat, not just taste salt and pepper.

People usually get the ostrich wrong. Getting the orzo wrong hardly matters by comparison.

The pasta cooked so fast, though. The box said 9 minutes for al dente, in 6 minutes the orzo was basically mush. I was so mad.

Not to mention that I had a knife slipping incident and sliced two fingers open. One pretty deep. Thank goodness it was a sharp, clean knife. Should heal up without needing stitches.
