METHOD

Combine the Cajun spice mix in a bowl. Add the Wagyu rump cubes and toss to coat evenly.
Heat the canola oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Sear the rump bites in batches for 1–2 minutes per side, until edges are caramelised. Remove and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the pan and melt. Stir in the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, scraping the pan to loosen any browned bits.
Remove the pan from the heat. Return the Wagyu bites and toss through the garlic butter to coat evenly.
Serve immediately with crusty bread and a sprinkle of coriander leaves if desired.
