How To Cook Rump Steak
1. Remove your steaks out of the packaging and pat dry. Allow them to come to room temperature before cooking, then season generously.
2. Pre-heat your oven to 180C / gas mark 4.
3. Pre-heat your frying pan over a high heat and add oil.
4. When the pan is very hot (oil almost smoking), add the steak and cook for 3 minutes per side.
5. If the steak has a thick layer of fat on the outside, hold the steak with tongs, fat-side down, so it can brown. Do this for a minute or so.
6. Move the steaks to a roasting tray and place in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
7. Remove the steak from the oven and season with pepper. Allow them to rest on a warm plate, covered loosely with foil for 5-10 minutes before serving.
