GET READY TO ROAST
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the sweet potato pieces 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.
MARINATION STATION
In a bowl, combine the Asian sauce, the chopped chilli (to taste), the grated garlic, the grated ginger, and 15ml of water. Add the rump to the marinade, coat well and set aside.
THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE SEED
Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside.
GORGEOUS GREENS
Return the pan to the heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the onion wedges and fry for 3-4 minutes, shifting occasionally. Add the baby marrow chunks. Fry for 3-4 minutes until the baby marrow has slightly softened, shifting occasionally. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
SIZZLIN’ STEAKS
Place a pan or griddle pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Remove the rump from the marinade, reserving the marinade in the bowl. When the pan is hot, fry the rump for 2-4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your preference (this time frame may depend on the thickness of the rump). Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and lightly seasoning.
MARINATED MARROWS
Add the reserved marinade to the baby marrow and onions. Return the pan to a medium heat and fry for 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Season to taste (be careful - the marinade is salty).
TIME TO EAT!
Serve the juicy rump slices. Make a bed of the rinsed green leaves and top with the flavoursome baby marrow & onion. Side with the roast sweet potato. Pour over any pan juices and sprinkle over the toasted sunflower seeds. Dig in!
