INGREDIENTS
  • For the steak:
    • 2 rump steaks
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Stroganoff mushroom sauce:
    • 1 tablespoon butter
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 onion, finely chopped
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 300g mushrooms, sliced
    • 1 tablespoon plain flour
    • 250ml beef stock
    • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    • 150ml sour cream
    • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
METHOD

  • Prepare the Steak:
    • Take the rump steaks out of the fridge and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
    • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Cook the Steak:
    • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
    • Sear the steaks in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until a brown crust forms.
    • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness.
    • Remove the steaks from the oven and let them rest on a plate covered with foil.
  • Prepare the Stroganoff Mushroom Sauce:
    • In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Heat over medium heat.
    • Add the chopped onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
    • Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and browned.
    • Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
    • Gradually pour in the beef stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
    • Stir in the Dijon mustard, sour cream, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
    • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve:
    • Slice the rested rump steak into thin strips or leave whole.
    • Place the steak on a serving plate and pour the Stroganoff mushroom sauce over the top.
    • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
