THOSE WONDROUS CHUNKS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the butternut chunks on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.
MAKE THE GREMOLATA
Place the chopped parsley, the juice of 1 lemon wedge, the grated garlic, some lemon zest, and 2 tsps of olive oil in a bowl. Mix until fully combined. In a separate bowl, place the quartered baby tomatoes with a drizzle of oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, and some seasoning. Toss to coat and set aside to marinate.
RUMP WITH A DIJON CRUNCH
Place the ground almonds on a plate with some seasoning. When the butternut chunks are halfway, pat the steak dry with some paper towel. Place a nonstick pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sear the steak fat-side down for 3-5 minutes until the fat is crispy. Then, fry each side for 2-3 minutes until browned but not cooked through. Remove from the pan, smear the mustard on both sides and coat with ground almond. Place the coated rump on a greased roasting tray and pop in the oven to roast for 4-5 minutes until cooked through to your preference. (The time this takes will depend on the thickness of the steak.) Remove from the oven and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and lightly seasoning.
FRESH ELEMENTS
Just before serving, toss the rinsed green leaves together with the marinated baby tomatoes. Add another drizzle of olive oil and more seasoning, if necessary.

THOSE WONDROUS CHUNKS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the butternut chunks on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. To make sure they do get crispy, don’t overcrowd the tray – use two trays instead! Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.

Place the chopped parsley, the juice of 3 lemon wedges, the grated garlic, some lemon zest, and 1 tbsp of olive oil in a bowl. Mix until fully combined.
