2 tablespoons Terrablendz Cattle Run Steak Rub (with Saltbush & Pepperberry)

Olive oil

Fresh herbs or lemon wedges (to garnish)

The Process:

Prep the Steak
Pat the rump steaks dry with a paper towel. This helps get a good sear later.

Cook the Steak
Preheat your grill or pan to high heat.
Sear each side for 3 to 4 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust the time to your liking.
Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes under foil before slicing.

Serve
Slice across the grain and serve with fresh herbs, wedges, or roasted veg. Enjoy the taste of the bush in every bite.

What does Saltbush and Pepperberry taste like?

Saltbush has a savoury, slightly salty, earthy flavour. It pairs beautifully with beef, lamb, and root vegetables. Pepperberry offers a fruity heat with floral notes. It’s milder than black pepper but adds complexity and depth. Together, Saltbush and Pepperberry create a rich, bold flavour that suits red meat perfectly. When combined in a rub, they lift the steak with a native twist.

Is Saltbush and Pepperberry Rump Steak good for the BBQ?

Absolutely! Saltbush and Pepperberry Rump Steak is ideal for the barbie. The rub forms a flavourful crust when seared over high heat.
Rump steak holds up well to grilling—it’s lean, meaty, and full of texture. Add in native flavours and you’ve got a true Aussie BBQ hit. For best results, use a cast iron grill plate or flame grill over lump charcoal.

Yes! Terrablendz Cattle Run Steak Rub isn’t just for rump. Try it on lamb cutlets, kangaroo fillets, beef roasts, or even grilled mushrooms. The Saltbush brings umami, while Pepperberry adds zing. You can use it before cooking or sprinkle it over hot meat straight off the grill. It's also great stirred through olive oil as a basting mix.
