Bought sliced mushrooms, cherry tomatoes on sale. Decided to use my second rump steak which I bought it 2 days ago and adding cilantro parsley pesto. Not using air fryer today. I am only using oil, salt and black pepper to season my rump steak.
“Rump steak is a lean, flavourful cut of beef from the rear of the cow, often more affordable than other steaks. It is rich in high-quality protein, iron, and essential vitamins like B12, B6, and zinc, supporting muscle and immune function. Best prepared through grilling, pan-frying, or marinating due to its firmer texture, it aids in muscle repair and growth. Key nutrients include iron, B12, niacin, phosphorus, and selenium, which contribute to energy metabolism and oxygen transport.”
“White mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) belong to the Fungi kingdom. Agaricus bisporus can be harvested at varying stages of maturity. When young and immature, they are known as white mushrooms if they have a white colour, or crimini mushrooms if they have slight brown shade. Like most mushrooms, white mushrooms are low in calories but pack plenty of nutrients. They are also high in protein and vitamin D, and they’re a source of vitamin B12. As such, they are considered beneficial for those following plant-based diets. White mushrooms are rich in many bioactive compounds that may protect against cancer and heart disease, as well as help improve blood sugar control and gut health.”
“Walnuts are a great source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid that is important for reducing inflammation. In fact, it is the only nut significantly high in these omega-3 fatty acids. Their anti-inflammatory compounds may reduce the risk of heart disease. Walnuts are rich in antioxidants and can reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol. Walnuts are significantly higher in omega-3s than any other nut. They may decrease inflammation. Walnuts can help promote a healthy gut, may reduce the risk of some cancers, may help regulate appetite and weight. Walnuts may help manage and lower your risk for type 2 diabetes.”
My meal is colourful, healthy and delicious. Let’s cook!!!

1 rump steak
4 walnuts
3 cherry tomatoes
50 g butter, diced
20 g butter, diced
1 Tsp minced garlic

Method
Let rump steak sit in room temperature for 30 minutes. Pat the steak dry with a paper towel. Season the rump steak generously with salt and pepper. Pour a thin layer of oil on saucepan, ensuring even coverage. Heat saucepan to a high heat, almost smoking.
Using a long food clipper, slowly add seasoned rump steak into the hot pan in the centre. Sear rump steak at the high heat for 2 minutes until not red coloured. Then turn over sear the other side for 1 minute. Move rump steak to the side of the saucepan and immediately add 50 g butter, garlic and 2 Tbs cilantro parsley paste and once the butter has melted, drizzle this continuously over the steak, cooking for 2 minutes total. Remove the basted steak from saucepan to a warmed plate. Cover loosely with tented foil; let rump steak rest for 5 minutes to ensure the juices reabsorb for maximum tenderness.
Cook sliced mushrooms
Now heat 1 Tbs oil and 2-4 Tbs cilantro parsley paste in the same saucepan on medium heat. When pan is hot, add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Quickly toss to coat mushrooms with the oil and cilantro parsley paste. Spread the mushrooms out in a single layer.
