Method
- 1
Rub the beef rump steak generously with salt and leave for 15 minutes to mimic the salt-cured flavour of carne de sol.
- 2
Boil the cassava in salted water for 20-25 minutes until completely soft, then drain.
- 3
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and cook the steak for 3-4 minutes each side for medium, then rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
- 4
In the same pan, melt the butter and fry the onion and garlic for 5 minutes until golden.
- 5
Add the drained cassava to the pan and toss for 2-3 minutes to coat it in the garlic butter.
- 6
Serve the sliced beef over the buttery cassava, scattered with fresh coriander and a squeeze of lime.
