This Beef Rump Roast is an adapted recipe from an unknown old recipe copy way back 1979. The cooking process in this recipe is old style. I modified the recipe though by adding some rosemary leaves to make it more aromatic in flavor. We all know that rosemary is the best herb partner of any beef recipe. It turned out so good and yummy! Perfectly oven roasted beef.
What is a beef rump? Some of you may probably ask. According to Lambandbeef.com: “Rump roast is a boneless piece of beef, cut from the hindquarter that covers the hip bone. It’s made up of three of the five rump muscles that do little work resulting in a mix of textures and levels of tenderness. Full of flavour, rump roast is succulent and tender when roasted or diced for casseroles.”
