Go with steak: Rump is good - I think that's "Sirloin" over there?. Cheap cut that has good flavour but tends to be tough to chew. Thick steaks are better than thin, wide ones.
Trim off the rubbish (Sous Vide isn't good to lumps of fat), and rub with salt, black pepper, and garlic before you bag it. You can add butter, but you don't need to.

Preheat the sous vide to 56C / 133F and cook for 60 minutes.
Remove the bag(s) and heat a pan to high, with a mix of butter and oil ("butter for flavour, oil for heat" and Gordon Ramsey says) and fry the steak for 30 seconds or each side to build a crust - this starts the Maillard Reaction which gives the outside is distinctive flavour. Put them in a warm place for the few minutes the rest will take!
Pour out the oil from the pan, and deglaze it with brandy or whiskey. Add lots of ground pepper, and beef stock, and quickly reduce, add the meat juices form the bags, and then whisk in cream (in small batches to avoid curdling) to make a pepper sauce. Serve with fries and roasted tomatoes.

Sounds like more work than it is, honest!

The result should be steak that the brown on the outside, and pink all the way through - it should have loads of "I worked hard" steak flavour, with the tenderness of fillet (Filet Mignon over there?)
