HERB RUMP WITH CORIANDER SALT

SERVES 4 to 6
PREP + COOK TIME: 25 minutes (+ marinating)

• 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 6 cloves garlic, bruised
• 6 fresh bay leaves, bruised
• 4 sprigs rosemary
• 1kg rump steak, a thick piece from centre cut
• 2 tsp coriander seeds
• 2 tsp cumin seeds
• ¼ cup (30g) sea salt flakes

1. Combine the oil, garlic, bay leaves and rosemary in a nonreactive dish or a ziplock bag. Add the steak. Marinate in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight.

2. Dry-fry the spices in a small pan over medium heat until fragrant. Using a mortar and pestle, grind the seeds until coarsely crushed. Add salt and pepper; mix well.

3. Remove the steak from the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking. Heat the braai to high. Place the steak on the heat; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the salt mixture. Cook for 10 minutes on one side. Turn the steak, add the marinating ingredients and cook for 3 minutes or until done as desired. Transfer to a tray. Cover loosely with foil; rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

4. Serve the steak sliced, with the remaining salt mixture.
