Lamb rump steaks are tender, juicy and full of character—perfect when you want steak-night speed with roast-level flavour. Each steak carries a thin fat cap that renders in the pan, basting the meat as it cooks. Sear hard for a golden crust, finish briefly in the oven or on the BBQ, then rest and slice across the grain for neat, blushing slices. Rosemary, garlic and a squeeze of lemon are all you need.
