Rump pave steak (Heart of rump)

This Pave steak is a French cut that's taken from the Heart of rump. It's not quite as tender as Fillet steak but – as with Rump – it packs plenty of flavour.

Texture wise it looks much the same as Fillet steak – and you could easily mistake it for one. There's no external fat and no gristle. It's also ultra lean so gram for gram it packs more protein than other cuts – which makes it a healthy option.

Let’s not pretend it’s like Fillet – or even a Sirloin – but as a mid week dinner or quick weekend meal, it excels.

And by the way, the word Pave doesn't refer to the steak – it's just a French culinary term for anything that's served square or square-ish – which is exactly what these steaks are.
