For the ideal wine pairing, it’s hard to go past Merlot’s soft, earthy tones: the berry flavours will lift the beef up, and the palate will be soft enough to work well with the chimichurri. Ingredients Beef rump cap 1 tbsp English mustard 2 sprigs rosemary, leaves finely chopped 40ml (2 tbsp) olive oil Sea salt flakes and black pepper Chimichurri 8 pepperberries 1/2 bunch flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped Pinch dried chilli flakes 2 cloves garlic, finely grated 1/2 tsp dried oregano 60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil 1 tbsp red wine vinegar Juice of 1 lemon Method 1. Pre-heat the oven to 100°C fan-forced or as low as your oven will go. In a small bowl, mix together the English mustard, rosemary, olive oil, sea salt and cracked pepper. 2. Rub the mixture evenly over the rump and place on a baking tray. Roast until you reach an internal temperature of 48°C, approx. 2 hours. Allow to rest for 30 minutes. 3. Increase oven temperature to 230°C fan-forced. Roast for 15 minutes, or until the top is golden. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes. 4 For the chimichurri, lightly crush the pepperberries in a mortar and pestle. Combine everything in a bowl and mix well. 5. Slice the rump into thin slices and drizzle with the chimichurri to serve.
