Directions
This is a delicious recipe for chump steak for the BBQ. Chump steak is also called ‘rump’ steak. It’s quite an expensive cut so treat it right. Give it the time and care it deserves with this punchy fresh marinade.
Chump steak comes from the backside of the cow, an area that does a lot of work. Chump isn’t as expensive or tender as sirloin but their is a lot of flavour there so it does well on the BBQ. That being said, the higher up the cut of beef your chump steaks are cut from, the closer you get to sirloin so it’s worth getting to know your butcher.
This is a tasty recipe that can be served as tasty BBQ preamble or as part of a main meal with a baked potato and some grilled onions and peppers. When I have made it, it usually doesn’t get on to plates, people eat it straight from the board. Hope you enjoy it. The marinade recipe is adapted from the Weber Big Book of BBQ.
