Rump Steak

Ingredients

• 1 280 g Rump steak
• 1 tbs beef tallow (see blog on turning pure beef fat into tallow)
• 2 tbs butter
• Salt & pepper

Directions

1. Bring the steak to room temperature for a minimum of 30 minutes. Pat dry the steak and season generously with salt & pepper.
2. Heat a griddle or frying pan for 5 minutes or until smoking hot. Add the tallow, melt and add the steak. Cook for 3 minutes gently pressing down to create a nice crust.
3. Turn the steak over, cook for 2 minutes and add the butter. Tilt the pan slightly and baste the steak with the melted butter for 1 minute. Remove the steak , cover and rest for 5 minutes.
4. This recipe is for a medium rare steak. I removed the steak at 52c .The steak continues to cook whilst resting. If you prefer a rare or well cooked steak adjust the cooking time by using the below guide.
