Cooking Steps

1
1

• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. Peel sweet potato and cut into bite-sized chunks. • Cook sweet potato in the boiling water until easily pierced with a fork, 10-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. • Add butter to sweet potato and season generously with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.

• Place beef rump between two sheets of baking paper. Pound beef with a meat mallet or rolling pin until slightly flattened. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, cook beef, turning, for 3-6 minutes (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. • In the last minute of cook time, sprinkle savoury seasoning over the beef, turning to coat. Transfer to a plate to rest.

TIP: If your beef rump is more than 3cm thick, cut in half horizontally before pounding for a shorter cook time.

• Wipe out frying pan then return to medium heat. • Add light cooking cream and Parmesan cheese. • Cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt, then stir through a generous pinch of pepper.

Season to taste. • Slice beef. • Divide seared beef rump, sweet potato mash and tomato salad between plates. • Spoon creamy Parmesan sauce over the beef and garnish with flaked almonds to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Aug 2026
  • Flavour: The Parmesan cream sauce was a standout for many, pairing beautifully with the seasoned beef and sweet potato mash. The flaked almonds added a welcome texture that several customers appreciated.
  • Ease of prep: Most found the recipe quick and straightforward to follow. Timing the beef can be tricky, particularly for those who prefer it medium-well to well done.
  • Suggestions: Several customers found the savoury seasoning quite salty and suggest using about half the recommended amount. Some swapped the salad for steamed vegetables or peas and cauliflower, and a few roasted the sweet potato instead of mashing it for a different result.
  • Portions: A number of customers felt the rump steak portion was too small for two people, and a few noted the sweet potato quantity was either too little or too much.
  • Sauce tips: If the Parmesan sauce is not thickening, keep the heat at medium and stir continuously for the full one to two minutes. One customer stirred the Parmesan through the mash instead, which worked well.
