Braaivleis
South African braaied rump steak with salt and pepper.

About Braaivleis
This braaivleis profile selects the rump-steak preparation published by Megamaster with South African open-fire cook Kevin Wright, the Meat Ranger. It represents the plain steak style within the wider South African braai tradition.
Beef, its own fat, salt and pepper define the main flavour. The publisher also offers brown sugar as a general steak tip, retained here as a separate optional addition.
The rump remains a whole steak, with a browned surface and a crisped fat edge. Its character comes from the cut and the braai rather than a required sauce.
