About Our Prime Rump Steak
Prime rump is cut from the picanha end of the rump - the prized cap muscle with its thick crown of fat - rather than the harder-working part that makes up our standard rump steak. It is noticeably more tender and better marbled, and that fat cap renders down over heat to baste the meat and build flavour. It is the rump you serve when you want a proper steak rather than a value cut.
Cut thick, it is one of the best steaks on the counter for charcoal. Score the fat, render it first, then cook hard to no more than medium and rest it well. It is a favourite for a Sunday grill and for a choma table where people want a steak with both bite and flavour.
How to Cook Prime Rump Steak
- Score the fat cap and render it in the pan or over the coals before cooking the meat flat.
- Get a hard crust: dry surface, high heat, and leave it undisturbed for the first two minutes.
- Cook to medium at most - rump firms up quickly past that.
- Rest at least five minutes, then slice thinly across the grain.
- Superb over charcoal; keep a cooler zone for when the fat flares.
