Instructions
Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the potato (unpeeled) into 1cm fries. Spread over an oven tray lined with baking paper. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat, then bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: Cut the potato to size so it cooks in time.
While the fries are baking, thinly slice the red onion. Thinly slice the tomato into rounds.
In a medium frying pan, heat the butter and a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 5-6 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar, water and brown sugar and stir to combine. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
See Top Steak Tips (bottom) for extra info! Wipe out the frying pan and return to a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Season both sides of the beef rump with salt and pepper. When the oil is hot, cook the beef rump for 2-3 minutes on each side (depending on thickness) or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate to rest.
Top Steak Tips! Use paper towel to pat steak dry before seasoning. Check if steak is done by pressing on it gently with tongs - rare steak is soft, medium is springy and well-done is firm. For ultimate tenderness, let steak rest on a plate for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the steak is resting, place the ciabatta directly on the wire rack of the oven and bake until heated through, 5 minutes.
Thinly slice the steak. Slice the ciabatta in half. Spread the ciabatta with the basil pesto, then top with the steak, caramelised onion, tomato and rocket leaves. Serve with the fries.
