If you live in the UK, you may have heard Iceland supermarkets have started to sell speciality meats. Things like venison, buffalo, kangaroo and ostrich. Today I’ll be reviewing Iceland’s £1.30 ostrich fillet steaks – not a lot to pay in my opinion, so lets see what they’re like…
The ostrich steaks come pre-packed and frozen and are therefore not from a fresh butchers counter. What I love about ostrich steaks is they’re really lean and low in fat. These ones from Iceland come in at 0.7g of fat per 100g of which 0.3g are saturated – which is great!
I cooked these steaks with a tiny bit of oil in a non-stick frying pan. The steaks aren’t too thick which means once they’re defrosted they don’t take too long to cook. Whilst they’re easy to cook in a pan or under a grill, I imagine on the BBQ would definitely be the most satisfying way of cooking these fillets.
In terms of taste (bearing in mind they’re £1.30) the results aren’t bad! You can tell the meat is really lean and succulent and it’s not too tough either. Therefore it’s definitely good value for money.
If you give these a go please leave a comment below and let me know what you think.
