Ingredients for 2 servings:

2 rump steaks        

1tsp cajun spice 

1/2 onion – peel & chop finely                  

1 broccoli – cut into florets

tin foil (from your pantry)     


Preparation:

Prepare all ingredients as indicated above.

Rump steak:

Place a dry pan on high heat. Rub both sides of each steak with olive oil, coat with the Cajun Spice and season with salt and pepper. When the pan is hot, add the steaks. Sear for 1-1½ minutes a side, only turning them once, for a medium-rare steak. In the last minute of cooking, melt a knob of butter in the pan and spoon over the steak. Remove, set aside and keep warm. If you would like to rest the steak, cover in tin foil and rest for up to 5 minutes.

Saucy broccoli:

Using the same pan on medium-high heat, add the onion with a pinch of salt and a splash of water to deglaze the pan. Cook the onion for 5 minutes then add the broccoli. Sauté for a minute, then add the garlic, sour cream and water (½ cup for 4; ¼ cup for 2). Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and cooked but with a slight bite. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the rump steak with the saucy broccoli on the side.
