1. Slice meat 1/4" thick and place one slice at a time between sheets of plastic wrap. Pound evenly with a flat meat mallet to thickness of 1/8". Sprinkle generously with coarsely ground green peppercorns, salt and pepper and pound in lightly. Dip meat slices in flour to coat both sides evenly and gently shake off all excess flour.
2. Heat a large non stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and two tablespoons butter. When butter is bubbly, quickly saute meat three or four slices at a time. Turn only once and cook until lightly browned, about a minute on each side. Meat should be slightly pink inside. Transfer to heated serving platter and keep warm.

Off the heat whisk in butter a tablespoon at a time. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Stir in chopped parsley just before serving. Pour a stream of sauce over ostrich scaloppine, and garnish with parsley sprigs and green peppercorns. Serve immediately.
