Ingredients

Crust

  • 2 onions
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs

Steak

  • 300 gram Rump Steak Tenderloin or Rib Eye
  • 2 tablespoon lard or oil

Gravy (Optional)

  • 100 milliliter cream
  • 1-2 teaspoon mustard

Instructions

  • If you serve the steak with any side dishes, prepare them beforehand.

Prepare the Crust

  • Peel and chop the onions very finely.
  • Preheat a small pan and melt the butter over medium heat. Add onions and a pinch of salt, and fry until translucent.
  • Add mustard and breadcrumbs and mix well. At this point, your crust is ready, and you can set it aside.

Prepare the Steak

  • Preheat the oven grill to 200°C (392°F).
  • Melt lard or oil in the cast iron pan on high heat.
  • Fry steak for 2 minutes from each side.
  • Remove the meat from the pan and put it in an oven-safe dish (I am using a place). Cover the whole surface of the steak with a mustard mixture (I am using a spoon and hands for this).
  • Put the steak into the oven for 15 minutes. After 10, check if the crust is not getting brown too quickly.

Prepare the Gravy

  • Preheat the cream in a small pan. Add the mustard and cook for 5 minutes. The sauce should thicken a bit.
  • Keep it warm until your steaks are ready.
  • After removing the steaks from the oven, add the meat juices from the plate to the pan with the sauce and mix well. Season your gravy with salt!

Notes

Sauteed meat always tastes best when served straight from the pan, so I wouldn't recommend saving it for later.
