FRAGRANTLY SPICED WEDGES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the sweet potato wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the African Rub to taste, and a little seasoning. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.
LET’S GET PICKLED!
Place the pickling liquid in a salad bowl and combine with a small splash of water. Toss through the halved baby tomatoes, season, and set aside to pickle.
SIZZLE THE GREEN BEANS
Place a nonstick pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob butter. When hot, sauté the halved green beans for 2-3 minutes until lightly charred but still crunchy. On completion, transfer to a bowl and season. Cover to keep warm and set aside for serving.
SKILLET STEAK
When the sweet potato has 15 minutes remaining, return the pan to a medium-high heat with another drizzle of oil. Pat the steak dry with paper towel. When the pan is hot, sear the steak fat-side down for 3-5 minutes until the fat is crispy. Then, fry for 2-4 minutes per side or until cooked to your preference. (This time frame may depend on the thickness of the steak.) During the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter and the grated garlic. On completion, place in a piece of tinfoil and pour in the pan juices. Close up tightly and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
THE DRESSING & THE SALAD
Drain the pickling liquid from the tomatoes and combine with 10ml of olive oil. Add more seasoning if necessary and set aside for serving. Add the rinsed salad leaves to the bowl of tomatoes and toss together. Thinly slice the steak, reserving the juices, and lightly season the slices.
A SUPPER CLASSIC
Lay out the gorgeous slices of rump and pour over the reserved meat juices to taste. Next to them, dish up the sweet potato wedges and buttery green beans. Serve the garden salad on the side with crumbles of drained feta and drizzles of dressing. Finish off by garnishing with the chopped parsley. Great work!
