About Ostrich, tip trimmed, cooked

Ostrich, the meat of the world's largest bird (Struthio camelus), is a lean red meat that has grown popular as a healthy alternative to beef. Despite coming from a bird, ostrich is a deep red, fine-grained meat that looks and tastes much like beef, with a rich, slightly sweet flavor and no gamey edge. It is impressively lean, lower in fat and calories than beef while being an excellent source of high-quality protein, iron, zinc, and vitamin B12.

Ostrich is used much like beef, in steaks, burgers, stir-fries, and stews, and the most tender cuts come from the thigh. Because it is so lean, it cooks quickly and is best served rare to medium, since overcooking dries it out fast. Look for bright red, fine-textured meat, sear it briefly over high heat or cook it gently, and store ostrich well chilled in the refrigerator or freeze it.
