Method
- Place beef rump medallions on an oven tray, even coat in sesame oil and Chinese five spice; season to taste. Stand until you have finished the broth.
- To make the broth, place ginger, garlic and oil in a heavy based medium saucepan over high heat.

Cover with foil and keep warm, re-heat over high heat when ready to serve.
- Meanwhile, to cook the rump, heat a large frying pan over high heat. Add peanut oil and cook for 3½ minutes, turn, and cook for further 3½ minutes or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to an oven tray and rest for 5 minutes before carving, to serve.
- Leave rump pan on heat add mushrooms and chilli; cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes, add vinegar and sugar and cook, stirring for a further 2 minutes or until mushrooms are glazed. Keep warm until ready to serve.
- To make the slaw, whisk lime juice, soy and honey in a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and toss well to combine; season taste.
- Divide slaw among plates and place in a mound in the middle of each main size bowl plate. Scatter the edges of the plate with the mushrooms and top with finely carved/sliced Beef rump; pour over broth, serve immediately.
Tips
- When making the broth, you need to have a balance of slaty and sweet. Use your oyster sauce and kecap manis to balance the flavour and to your own personal taste.
- Substitute Asian mushrooms with button mushrooms.
- Substitute lemongrass, with kaffir lime leaves, lemon zest or lime zest.
- Substitute rump medallions with eye fillet centre cut steak, sirloin steaks or scotch fillet steaks.
- Use a mandolin to shave your baby cucumbers into ribbons.
- When slicing your steak slice against the grain to aid tenderness.
