Miso‑Whisky Glazed Rump Steak with Crispy Potatoes & Tenderstem Broccoli

Premium British rump steak, cut from the lean and flavour‑packed rump primal, makes a wonderful family‑friendly meal when paired with crispy potatoes and steamed Tender stem broccoli. The miso‑whisky glaze adds a rich umami twist, while the sides bring texture and colour to the plate. Perfect for a weekday dinner with minimal fuss, or a relaxed weekend feast.

Ingredients:

For the steak & glaze:

• 600 g premium British rump steaks (approx. 2 steaks, 300 g each)

• 2 tbsp white miso paste

• 2 tbsp whisky (or substitute red wine)

• 1 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tsp honey

• 1 tsp vegetable oil

For the sides:

• 600 g baby potatoes, halved if large

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• Salt & pepper

• 300 g Tenderstem broccoli or British broccoli

• 1 tbsp butter (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, whisky, soy sauce and honey until smooth.

2. Crispy potatoes: Preheat oven to 200 °C (fan). Toss baby potatoes in olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread on a baking tray and roast for 25–30 minutes until golden and crisp, turning halfway.

3. Steam the broccoli: During the last 8 minutes of roasting, steam the Tenderstem broccoli over boiling water until tender‑crisp. Toss in butter and season lightly.

4. Cook the steak: Meanwhile, bring rump steaks to room temperature. Heat 1 tsp oil in a heavy frying pan over high heat. Season steaks generously with salt and pepper. Sear for about 3 minutes on each side for medium‑rare (adjust time for your preference). Rest on a plate, tented with foil for 5 minutes.

5. Apply the glaze: After resting, wipe pan clean briefly, reduce heat to medium, add the glaze and warm through. Return steaks to the pan, turning once to coat both sides in the glossy sauce (about 1 minute each side).

Seasoning & Serving Method:

• Season steaks simply with sea salt and cracked black pepper before searing.

• Spoon additional miso‑whisky glaze over the steaks just before serving.

• Arrange sliced steak alongside the crispy potatoes and broccoli on a warm platter for a family meal.

• Optional: serve with a simple green salad or roasted root vegetables for added variety.
