PREP TIME: 10 mins | COOKING TIME: 10 mins

Dust the rump generously with Cape Herb & Spice Steak & Chops Shaker Seasoning. Heat a non-stick saucepan, add 30 ml of olive oil and 15 ml of butter and fry the steak until done to your liking. Remove steak and allow it to rest for at least five minutes before slicing. Slice the avocado and drizzle with lemon juice to prevent discolouring. Assemble the steak salad by plating all the ingredients up on a large platter. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic reduction and season with salt and pepper.
