Notes

  1. HOW TO COOK RUMP STEAK
    Prepare the Steak: Take the rump steak out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes. This ensures more even cooking.
    Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to high heat. The grill should be hot to ensure a good sear on the steak
    Season Well: When your steak is at room temperature and just before cooking, season the steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Don’t be shy with the seasoning.
    Brush with olive oil: Brush both sides of the steak with olive oil just before placing it on the grill. This helps prevent sticking and promotes a nice sear.
    Grill to perfection: Place the steak on the hot grill grates. For a medium-rare result, grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Adjust the time based on your preferred doneness and the thickness of the steak.
    Optional: Baste with Butter: For an extra touch of richness, you can optionally baste the steak with melted butter infused with garlic and herbs during the last minute of cooking.
    Rest the Steak: Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy steak.
    Serve whole or Sliced: Serve either whole for a stunning presentation or sliced against the grain for maximum tenderness. Plate it up, and you’re ready to enjoy your perfectly cooked rump steak!
