About Ostrich, inside strip, raw
Raw ostrich inside strip is another lean muscle cut from the hindquarter, with a slightly higher fat content than the inside leg but still firmly in the lean-protein category. Protein is high, carbohydrates are absent. The strip muscle runs longitudinally through the leg and can be portioned into steaks or smaller medallions for pan-searing. Its texture is slightly finer-grained than the inside leg. Like most ostrich cuts, it responds well to marinades that add surface flavor and help keep the lean meat moist during cooking, and it should be rested briefly after cooking to let juices redistribute through the muscle.
