About Ostrich, tenderloin, raw
Tenderloin is the most prized cut on most animals, and ostrich tenderloin is no exception. Raw, it is lean with a small but slightly higher fat presence than the drum or round cuts, which contributes to its notably tender texture. Protein is high and carbohydrates are absent. The tenderloin runs along the inside of the spine and does very little physical work, which accounts for its fine grain and soft bite. It is best cooked quickly over high heat to medium-rare and sliced for serving. Among all ostrich cuts, the tenderloin is the most approachable for diners unfamiliar with the meat, as the texture closely mirrors beef tenderloin.
