Seared Rump Cap
- 500g Angus beef rump cap
- 1tspn flake sea salt and cracked black pepper
- 2 Tbsp. Mainland Unsalted butter
- 1ea garlic clove, peeled
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
Method
On a hot grill or griddle pan seal the rump cap, approx. 2 mins on all four sides.
Leave to rest for 5-7 mins.
In a hot skillet, add the butter and the rump cap steak along with garlic and thyme.
Spoon the bubbling butter over the rump cap to bring the steak up to temperature.
Slice into 100g portions per pizza.
Pizza Dough
- 375ml warm water
- 1 tsp caster sugar
- 8g yeast (or 1 sachet)
- 600g 'OO' Flour
- Pinch of flaky sea salt
- 30ml extra virgin olive oil
Method
Sieve the flour/s and salt onto a clean work surface and make a well in the middle.
In a jug, mix the yeast, sugar, and oil into 650ml of lukewarm water and leave for a few minutes, then pour into the well.
Mix and Knead dough until you have a smooth, springy dough.
Place the ball of dough in a large flour-dusted bowl and flour the top of it. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and place in a warm room for about an hour until the dough has doubled in size.
Remove the dough to a flour-dusted surface, and knock back the dough. You can either use it immediately or keep it, wrapped in cling wrap, in the fridge (or freezer) until required.
If using straight away, divide the dough up into as many little balls as you want to make pizzas – this amount of dough is enough to make about six to eight medium pizzas.
Roll the dough out into rough circles, about 0.5cm thick, and place them on slightly larger pieces of olive-oil-rubbed and flour-dusted pizza trays.
