• Always, always take the rump steak out the fridge for at least 20 minutes to allow it to come to room temperature! If you don’t do this, you’ll end up with uneven heat going through the beef when you cook it!
• Once the rump steak is at room temperature, pat it dry with a paper towel and massage both its sides with Himalayan salt and ground pepper!
• Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
