HOW TO COOK RUMP STEAK

1
Remove the steaks from the fridge and allow them to come to room temperature at least an hour before you begin
2
Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4
3
Place a heavy-based frying pan or griddle pan over a high heat and add a splash of vegetable or groundnut oil. Pat the steak dry with a paper towel and sprinkle both sides generously with flaky sea salt
4
When the pan is very hot, with the oil almost at smoking point, add the steak and cook for 3 minutes on each side
5
If there is a thick layer of fat on the outside, hold the steak with tongs, fat-side down, so it can brown for a minute or so
6
Transfer the steak to a roasting tin and put it into the oven for 10–15 minutes
7
Remove the steak from the oven, season with pepper and rest on a warm plate, covered loosely with foil, for a further 10 minutes
8
Slice and serve with your choice of accompaniments
