  • Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook ostrich steaks in hot butter until the outside is just about to be crisp, shown by darkening patches as with a beef steak, about 2 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) for rare. Remove ostrich steaks from the pan and keep warm.
  • Pour beef stock into the skillet and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for a few minutes until slightly reduced, then lower the heat to medium-low and stir in crème fraîche. Cook and stir for 2 minutes, then pour in Calvados and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Season each ostrich steak with pepper to taste. Spoon the sauce over the steaks to serve.
