 2 eggs

 2/3 Tbsp fine breadcrumbs

 Oil, for semi-deep frying

Caramelised onions:

 3 large onions

 Salt, to taste

 Oil/butter for caramalisation

Mushroom sauce:

Make white sauce your own way or:

 200g white mushrooms, sliced

 1 Tbsp Butter

 1 Tbsp Flour

 400 ml milk

 100 ml Amarula

 Salt and pepper to taste

Method

Start with the mushroom sauce:

1. Brown the sliced mushrooms in a pan.

2. Melt butter. Add flour. Whisk furiously. Once lumpy. Add some milk. Whisk. Lumpy. More milk. Lumpy? More milk…. Until you have a gorgeous, smooth sauce. You can add more or less milk, just see how it goes. Add browned mushrooms and set aside.

Let’s get those onions done:

3. Add sliced onions to a pan on a low to medium heat, and fry slowly until they are golden brown. Set aside.

Rosti, you say?

4. Grate the potatoes and onions. Put them in a clean dish towel, head over to the sink and squeeze out all the liquid. You’ll need to do this a few times to get rid of all the liquid.

5. Place in a bowl, add the eggs, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper and mix. Take a handful and shape into a burger patty shape. Them fry very slowly on a low heat. You need to fry these slowly, so the rosti cooks through.

Feed me meat:

6. Season the steak lightly with salt and pepper and fry, preferably on a griddle pan.

And greens:

7. Add garlic and butter to a hot pan. Throw in the spinach, in two batches if need be, and wilt the spinach.

Serve the rump steak, covered in the Amarula and mushroom sauce, with the potato rosti, baby spinach and caramelised onions.

Serves 4
