How To Do It

The meat is ALWAYS the hero. And I stand by this theory. However, sometimes we all love a great marinade. And I found one, thanks to my wife and www.momontimeout.com

This one reminds me of a classical steak house marinade. One that is a guaranteed winner and will always impress. Although I applied this to a Rump Steak, I can only imagine how nicely this will go down with a Sirloin or Fillet steak.

I have my own family marinade recipe that I make in 5liter batches. I might be applying these ingredients going forward.

Grab yourself a large zip lock bag, add in all the ingredients, with the steak and rest for a minimum of 4hours.

I was fortunate enough to have made and rested the steaks in the marinade for a total of 9hours. Once I placed the rump steak onto my searing hot fire, I did not need to baste the steaks again. Due to the size of the cut of Rump, I made use of my MEATERMADE meat thermometer to ensure a medium rare internal temperature. 57% internal.

As a side I skewered some button mushrooms and applied some of the same marinade once I placed the skewers onto the fire. Basting frequently, I ensure a chargrilled finish to the mushrooms.

As always, I rested the rump for a minimum of 8 minutes before carving and serving.
