About Ostrich meat
Ostrich meat is the edible muscle meat of ostriches. It is sold in cuts such as steaks, fillets or ground meat, and is generally prepared by grilling, pan-cooking or other methods used for lean red meat.
The raw meat is dark red and typically quite lean; cooked texture and flavour depend on the cut and cooking method. Ground ostrich and intact cuts are distinct forms, and products may also be seasoned or otherwise processed.
