Serves 4 Preparation time: 15 Minutes Cooking time: 30 Minutes

INGREDIENTS:

Rump:
1.5 kg rump steak
Salt
Pepper

Fried Capsicums and Potatoes:
6 Red Potatoes, Peeled and chopped into 5ml slices
2 Red Capsicums Chopped into long slices
1 Large Brown Onion Chopped into thin wedges
2 Cloves Garlic finely sliced
2 Tbs Foodland Olive Oil
1 tin Foodland Diced Tomatoes
1 tsp Dried oregano
1 tbs Fresh basil leaves

METHOD:
Heat olive oil in a heavy based fry pan. Add the onions, garlic and potatoes and cook until potatoes and onions start to brown, being sure to stir them occasionally to ensure they don't stick to the bottom of the pan. Add in the capsicums, herbs and tomatoes and season generously with salt and a little pepper. Continue to cook on low heat for approximately 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are cooked enough to become soft and resemble a relish.

Rump:
Remove meat from the fridge 45 minutes prior to cooking. It is crucial to bring the meat to room temperature prior to cooking so that when you place it on the hot fry pan, it doesn't tense up and release it's juices, making it tougher. Sprinkle on both sides with sea salt flakes and freshly cracked pepper and pat into the meat. Heat a heavy based non-stick griddle or fry pan on the highest heat (I usually let mine heat up for about 3 minutes prior to using it). If you are not using a non-stick pan, drizzle a little olive oil onto the meat too. Place the meat on the pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side, turning the meat every 1 minute. I do this because if you wait until the juices come to the top of the meat, you lose them when you turn meat over, makes sense right? Cook for a total of 4 minutes for medium rare. Don't cook rump more than medium as it is a lean cut it will toughen. Turn it onto it's side holding it with tongs and crisp up the fat which tastes great and has a lot of flavour. Let meat rest for 2-3 minutes.

And there you have it, simple, delicious and most importantly, it's real!
