Beef Rump with Caponata and Crushed Potatoes
Ingredients
- 1 Whole Rump Cap
- 1 Punnet Sweet Delight Tomatoes
- 1 Eggplant
- 1 Packet Peeled Whole Potatoes
- 1 Punnet Baby Spinach
- 300ml Cream
- Olive Oil
Method
- Cut potatoes into quarters, making sure they are all around the same size. Place them into a large pot with salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 25 minutes until soft.
- Cut the eggplant into 2cm cubes and cut the tomatoes in half.
- Remove beef from the packaging and cut away the excess fat. Cut beef into 3cm steaks and season with salt and pepper.
- In a large frying pan on high heat, drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the steaks for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side plus 1 minute on the fat side. Remove from the pan and rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
- In the same frying pan that was used for the steak, add the eggplant and cook for approximately 4 minutes on a high heat.
- Add the tomatoes and half of the spinach leaves and cook for a further 2-3 minutes until softened. Season, then remove from the heat and set aside.
- Drain the potatoes and add the cream into the pot. Bring the cream to a boil and place the potatoes back into the pot to cook for 4 minutes. Add the remaining spinach, roughly mash the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Mix well until the cream is evenly covered over the potatoes.
- Slice the rested steaks and serve warm with the caponata and crushed potatoes.
Chef's Tips:
- This recipe makes around 6 serves. Save the leftovers for lunch the next day or create a caponata bruschetta using sourdough toast. The leftover steak can be added into sandwiches or salads.
