== Ingredients ==
* 2 ostrich steaks, thinly sliced
* 1 onion, finely sliced
* 100 ml cream
* 250 ml white wine
* 6 green peppercorns, lightly crushed
* 1 pumpkin, peeled and cubed
* 100 g mealie meal (ground maize)
* 200 ml red wine
* 6 juniper berries, lightly crushed 
== Directions ==
# Slice the ostrich steaks as finely as you can and marinate in the red wine and juniper berries on the fridge over night.
# Add the pumpkin and mealie meal to a pot, cover with water and boil for about 30 minutes, or until the pumpkin is hot.
# Add more water if desired.
# When cooked pour-off any excess liquid and mash the pumpkin and mealie meal together.
# Meanwhile, add the onion to a pan and sweat in a little butter until just nut brown.
# Add the cream, white wine and green peppercorns and bring to a gentle simmer.
# Season and add a little arrowroot if the sauce is too thin for your taste.
# Finally cook the ostrich by flash-frying the meat in a pan.
# Do not over-cook as the meat will become very dry.
# To serve place the pumpkin mash in the centre of a plate, arrange the strips of ostrich meat around the outside and drizzle the cream sauce over the top.
