Key Features for our beef rump steak:
-
Leanness - Rump steak is a relatively lean cut of beef, which makes it a healthier option for those watching their fat intake. This also means it has a firmer texture compared to more marbled cuts like ribeye.
- Versatility - Rump steak can be cooked using various methods including grilling, pan-searing, roasting, and stir-frying. This adaptability makes it a popular choice for different recipes and cuisines.

Texture -
While it's not as tender as other cuts, when cooked properly (especially medium-rare to medium), rump steak can be quite pleasant to eat. Marinating beforehand or resting after cooking can enhance its tenderness.
Cooking Tips: To perfectly cook: Keep it simple. Season the steak with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance its natural flavour. Add a light rub of olive oil to prevent sticking. Preheat your skillet or grill until it's very hot. This helps create a nice sear on the steak, locking in the juices and forming a delicious crust. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak is cooked to your liking. Make sure to rest your steak for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Pairing Suggestions: Pair with a robust red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, or try an interesting twist with a full-bodied white wine. Serve the ribeye steak with complementary sides like earthy Sautéed mushrooms with garlic and thyme to enhance the steak's richness.
