Ingredients
- 1 × Big Daddy 16oz rump steak (or 2 smaller rump steaks), room temperature
- 1 tbsp oil with a high smoke point
- 40g butter + 3 garlic cloves, smashed
- A few thyme or rosemary sprigs
- Salt and cracked black pepper
- Chips or mash and a green salad to serve
Method
- Pat the rump dry and season generously on both sides. Heat a heavy pan until smoking hot.
- Add oil, then the steak. Sear 3–4 minutes without moving for a deep crust.
- Flip, add butter, garlic and herbs. Baste for 3–5 minutes more for medium-rare (about 52–55°C in the centre), or cook longer to preference.
- Rest on a warm plate under foil for 8–10 minutes — a thick rump needs a proper rest.
- Slice against the grain, spoon over garlic butter juices, and serve with chips or mash.
