4. For the red wine sauce, pour the red wine into the pan used for the ostrich, place over a high heat and simmer until the volume of liquid has reduced by half and thickened slightly. Add the butter and stir until well combined.
5. For the creamy mushrooms, heat the olive oil, add the sliced mushrooms and fry until turning golden-brown. Add the garlic and fry for one minute. Stir in the cream, mustard, white wine, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Leave to simmer for 6-8 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced slightly.
6. Fry the potatoes again in the fryingpan untill golden brown.
7. To serve, place the fries onto a serving plate, add the creamy mushrooms and then the ostrich slices. Drizzle over the red wine sauce and serve.
