Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Preheat BBQ to high heat. • Thinly slice cucumber into rounds. Halve bake-at-home ciabatta lengthways. Finely chop garlic. • Drizzle ciabatta with olive oil, season. • In a small bowl, combine softened butter, garlic and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using). Season and set aside.

Season the beef
2

• To a medium bowl, add beef rump and a drizzle of olive oil. Season and turn to coat.

Grill the steak
3

• When BBQ is hot, grill beef rump, turning, for 6-10 minutes for medium-rare or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate and leave to rest for 5 minutes. No BBQ? In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, cook beef rump, turning, for 5-9 minutes for medium-rare or until cooked to your liking.

Grill the ciabatta
4

• Meanwhile, grill bacon until golden, 3-5 minutes each side. • Grill ciabatta until golden and warmed through, 2-4 minutes each side. No BBQ? Toast or grill to your liking. Cook bacon in a frying pan over a medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until golden, 4-5 minutes.

Toss the salad
5

• Roughly chop grilled ciabatta and bacon. • In a large bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, cucumber, ciabatta, bacon, Parmesan cheese, Caesar dressing, a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.

Finish & serve

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the tasty Caesar salad, especially the croutons and dressing. Some found the overall flavours a bit bland or mild.
  • Ease of prep: Instructions were generally clear, though some found the steak thickness varied, making it tricky to cook evenly.
  • Suggestions: Several recommend adding bacon or egg to boost the salad. Some suggest cooking the garlic butter before adding to the steak.
  • Portions: A few felt the salad-to-crouton ratio was off, with some wanting more greens and others finding it bread-heavy.
  • Meat quality: Many found the beef rump tough or gristly; consider sourcing more tender cuts for better results.
