  • finely grated zest and juice of 4 limes
  • 2 tsp toasted cumin seeds, cracked
  • 1 tsp coriander seeds, cracked

method
  • Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper, then rub with 2 Tbsp avocado oil, lime zest and spices. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  • Combine the herbs, garlic, jalapeños and half the lime juice in a blender with the remaining avocado oil, then purée until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, then fold in the mayonnaise.
  • Meanwhile, steam the potatoes until very soft. Crush the potatoes lightly. Pour the olive oil into a heavy skillet set over a moderate heat, then fry the potatoes for 15 minutes, turning several times, until golden.
  • Cook the rump steaks on a hot barbecue grill for 8 minutes, turning. Several times, until medium. Rest briefly, then carve and serve with the potatoes, sauce and onion salad.
