Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 rump steak, 200 grams each
• 300 grams potato chips
• 200 grams red cabbage, shredded
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon peel, grated
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 plum tomato, diced
• 2 tablespoons hummus
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh coriander, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

Method

• Preheat your oven to 200°C.
• Season the rump steaks with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and sear the steaks on each side for approximately 3 minutes. Transfer steaks to a baking tray and place in the oven for 8-10 minutes for medium-rare.
• While the steaks are in the oven, place the potato chips on a baking tray, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with grated lemon peel, salt, and pepper. Bake in the oven for approximately 15 minutes until crispy and golden.
• For the red cabbage slaw, in a large bowl, combine shredded red cabbage, diced plum tomato, chopped parsley, coriander, and mint. In a separate bowl, whisk together lime juice, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and granulated sugar. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• For the hummus and peanut butter sauce, combine 2 tablespoons of hummus and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter in a bowl. Mix until smooth and well combined. Season with a pinch of salt.
• Once the steaks are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve the steaks with herbed potato chips and a side of red cabbage slaw. Drizzle the peanut butter hummus sauce over the steak.

Tips

• For a medium steak, add an additional 2-3 minutes to the oven cooking time.
• Toss the potato chips halfway through baking for even crispiness.
• Use fresh, bright parsley, coriander, and mint for the slaw to bring a refreshing taste to the dish.
