1 packet
Italian Truffle Mayonnaise
(Contains: Wheat, Gluten, Eggs; )
1 sachet
Vegetable Stock Powder
1 packet
Leek
1 packet
Green beans
600 g
Beef Rump
1
Carrot
2
Garlic
3
Potato
1 drizzle
olive oil
¼ cup
water
15 g
butter
(Contains: Milk; )
1 tsp
balsamic vinegar

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. Cut potato into bite-sized chunks. • Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. Cook potato in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 10-15 minutes. • Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. Trim green beans. Thinly slice carrot into sticks. Slice leek into 1cm thick rounds. • Place beef rump between two sheets of baking paper. Pound beef with a meat mallet or rolling pin until slightly flattened. Season beef with salt and pepper.

• Drain the potatoes well then transfer to a lined oven tray. • Season generously with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: Tossing and roughing the edges helps the potatoes get crisp edges while roasting!

• Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, cook the beef, turning, for 4-5 minutes (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate to rest. TIP: Cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded.

• While the beef is cooking, add green beans, carrot and a splash of water to a microwave-safe bowl, then cover with a damp paper towel. • Microwave veggies on high until just tender, 5-6 minutes. • Drain veggies, then return to the bowl, season and cover to keep warm.

• While beef is resting, wipe out frying pan then return to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook leek, tossing, until slightly charred, 1-2 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Reduce heat to medium, then add the water, vegetable stock powder, the butter and balsamic vinegar and cook, tossing, to combine. • Cover with a lid or foil, and simmer until tender and liquid has slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.

• Slice steak. • Divide beef rump steak, twice-cooked potatoes, and steamed veggies between plates. • Top rump with braised leek and any remaining pan sauce. • Serve with Italian truffle mayonnaise. Enjoy!
