Portioned Rump Steak +/- 1.5kg (Frozen)

Rump steak is a popular and flavorful cut of beef that comes from the hindquarters of the cow.

It is often compared to sirloin steak due to its location and similar taste, but it is slightly less tender and more affordable, making it an excellent choice for a delicious and budget-friendly steak.

How to Use and Cook Rump Steak:

Grilling: Rump steak is well-suited for grilling due to its robust flavor and medium tenderness. Preheat the grill to high heat and season the steak with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices. Grill the rump steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness, adjusting the cooking time based on your preference for doneness.

Pan-Searing: Pan-searing is another great method for cooking rump steak. Heat a skillet or frying pan with oil or butter over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for a few minutes on each side until it develops a caramelized crust. For even more flavor, you can add garlic, thyme, and a knob of butter to the pan while searing.

Marinating: While rump steak is flavorful on its own, marinating can further enhance its taste and tenderness. Prepare a marinade with ingredients like olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and your favorite herbs. Marinate the steak for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator before grilling or pan-searing.

Slicing and Serving: After cooking, let the rump steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it against the grain. Slicing against the grain ensures tenderness and easier chewing. Serve the sliced steak with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, salad, or mashed potatoes.

Chimichurri Sauce: Rump steak pairs exceptionally well with chimichurri sauce—a tangy and herbaceous sauce made with parsley, cilantro, garlic, red pepper flakes, vinegar, and olive oil. Drizzle chimichurri sauce over the cooked steak to add brightness and flavor.

Rump steak offers a balance of taste and value, making it a popular choice for steak enthusiasts who appreciate a delicious and affordable cut of beef. With its versatility in cooking methods and its tendency to remain juicy and tender, rump steak is an excellent addition to any meat lover's culinary repertoire.
