What each ingredient does

Rump steak
Is the main protein; its tenderness and even thickness determine how evenly it cooks.

The step that matters

Turning the steak frequently while cooking. Frequent turning over moderate heat cooks the steak more evenly and helps prevent the outside from scorching before the centre reaches the desired doneness.
