Karoo roast ostrich steak

Karoo roast ostrich steak is the national dish of Eswatini (formerly known as Swaziland), a country whose cuisine is influenced by French cooking methods such as meat marinades and the use of various cream-based sauces. The ingredients needed for the dish include thinly sliced ostrich steaks, sliced onions, white wine, heavy cream, peppercorns, juniper berries, cornmeal, red wine, and pumpkin. The onions are sautéed with peppercorns, white wine, and heavy cream, while the meat is marinated in red wine and juniper berries with salt and pepper. The meat is then fried in butter and served with pumpkin mash, made by combining mashed pumpkin and ground maize. The creamy sauce is drizzled over the dish before serving.
