Step 1: Choosing the Right Rump Steak

To ensure a delicious result, start by selecting a high-quality rump steak from your local Farmers Pantry Butchers. Look for a steak with good marbling and fat, as it adds flavour and tenderness. Aim for a thickness of around 1.5 to 2 inches, which will allow for an even cook and a juicy centre.

Step 2: Preparing the Steak

Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This step ensures even cooking throughout the meat. Meanwhile, preheat your BBQ to high heat. We recommend using Camel Thorn logs or hardwood charcoal, both available from our Llantwit Major, Penarth and Whitchurch shops.

Step 3: Seasoning the Steak

Season the steak generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. This simple seasoning enhances the natural flavours of the meat. For an extra kick, you can add a sprinkle of your favourite herbs or spices. Dawie apples beef dripping directly to the steak and BBQ, we’d recommend cutting off a chunk and applying.

Step 4: Cooking the Steak

Place the seasoned rump steak directly on the hot grill and cook for approximately 3 to 4 minutes on each side for a rare finish. Adjust the cooking time according to your desired choice.

Step 5: Adding the Secret Ingredients

Whilst cooking, sprinkle and rub on beef oxo as desired and splash on the Worcestershire sauce.

Step 6: Resting the Steak

Once your steak is cooked to perfection (we like it rare!) let it rest for a few more minutes. This resting period allows the meat to reabsorb its juices, resulting in a tender and flavourful steak.

Step 7: Serving and Enhancing the Flavour

Slice the rested rump steak against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness. Drizzle a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce over the slices if desired or season with salt and pepper, enhancing the meat's natural flavors and adding a tangy kick.

Conclusion:

Cooking a rump steak to rare perfection on the BBQ is a skill worth mastering. By following these steps and utilizing the secret ingredients of beef dripping, Oxo, and Worcestershire sauce, you'll create a culinary masterpiece that will leave your guests impressed and craving more. So fire up that grill, grab a juicy rump steak, and get ready to enjoy a sensational dining experience!
