If you buy a thick rump steak it can cost about 4 quid, quite off puttingly expensive,
if you buy a fairly small rump joint and cut it into 4 steaks they work out at about half the price.

Sear them on both sides in a very hot pan with just a teeny bit of oil for 1 minute per side if you want it rare, 2 for medium rare, 3 for cooked thru, 4 for well done, then put them into a tin foil wrap for 3-5 minutes, they will finish cooking and relax to a melt in the mouth steak releasing lots of juicy tasty 'gravy'.

Serve with chips, fried onions (you can cook em as the steaks rest), and a little English mustard on the side, pepper and salt to taste, every bite is heaven, impressing the entire family with your culinary skills!

Sounds great
but take it one stage further and make your own oven chips.

Take some normal spuds - Maris Piper I think I tried this with, and cut them into quarters lengthways. Stick them on a baking tray, drizzle with oil, and bung them in the oven for 20 mins or so.

You can also jazz them up with chilli flakes or something like that if you like.

This is good advice!

Do the onions
in the same pan as the steak at the same time surely.

Noooo
You can't be disturbing a steak when it's cooking, besides your meant to let steak 'rest' for a few mins. You would have cold or overdone onions if you done it that way.

Good advise
I just ate yummy cow all week.

Plus it feels nice and barbaric choping into a big hunk of meat everyday.
