Red Wine Sauce

Chips

Method

Cooking Rump Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the rump steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it's hot but not smoking.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Add the steaks to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Making Red Wine Sauce

  1. 4

    Sauté Shallots

    In the same pan used for the steaks, add the chopped shallots and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 5

    Add Wine and Broth

    Pour in the red wine and beef broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil.

  3. 6

    Simmer Sauce

    Reduce heat and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes or until it has reduced by half.

  4. 7

    Finish Sauce

    Stir in the butter and thyme, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm until serving.

Preparing Chips

  1. 8

    Cut the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into chip shapes, about 1 cm thick.

  2. 9

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

  3. 10

    Coat the Chips

    Toss the potato chips in a bowl with olive oil and salt to taste, ensuring they are well coated.

  4. 11

    Bake the Chips

    Spread the chips on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
