zucchini
1 head
broccoli
1 clove
garlic
1 packet
beef rump
1 sachet
lemon pepper seasoning
1 tub

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut the potato (unpeeled) into 2cm chunks. Thinly slice the carrot (unpeeled) and cut the zucchini into 1cm chunks. Place the potato on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Place the carrot and zucchini on a second oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle both trays with olive oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Roast until tender, 25-30 minutes.
TIP: Cut the veggies to the correct size so they cook in the allocated time!

While the veggies are roasting, cut the broccoli into small florets and roughly chop the stalk. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Slice the beef rump in half to get 1 steak per person. In a medium bowl, place the beef rump, lemon pepper spice blend, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat and set aside.

In a medium frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat and add the beef rump. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate, cover with foil, and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
TIP: This will give you a medium steak so cook a little less for rare or a little longer for well done. TIP: The spice blend with char a bit in the pan - this just adds to the flavour!

Bring the frying pan back to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the broccoli and then a splash of water and cook until nearly tender, 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

Thinly slice the beef. Divide the lemon pepper beef, roast potatoes and veggies between plates. Serve with wholegrain mustard.
