Easy recipe: Roasted steak roll for your festive meal

It’s festive season and it feels like the roasting season so let’s roast some beef rump steak. This time around, we will flatten our steak, marinate it, roll it like a Swiss roll, tie it up with a cotton twine and then bake it. Let’s do this!

What you will need:

1 kg beef rump steak (with fat layer)

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon garlic ginger paste

1 teaspoon meat tenderiser (powder)

30g butter

Juice of 1/2 lemon

Cotton twine

What to do:

Cut the steak halfway from the centre then flatten it as much as possible using a knife.

Lay it flat on the table and sprinkle the meat tenderiser. Use a fork to prick some holes all over the steak so that the tenderiser penetrates the surface.

Squeeze the lemon juice over the steak then sprinkle the black pepper and salt. Add the butter and rub all the marinade all over the steak.

Roll the steak just like rolling a Swiss roll cake. Ensure you get a log shape.

Use the cotton twine to tie the steak so that it stays intact in the log shape.

Place the steak on a non-stick pan with an aluminium handle.

Sprinkle some herbs like coriander on the side of the pan and place in an oven 200°C for 45 - 50 minutes or until the steak is brown and crusted on the outside.

Once the steak is roasted, remove the cotton twine and slice it to your desired portions.

Serve with some naan bread and enjoy the festive roast.
