What is a rump roast?
Rump roast is an expensive cut of beef that comes from the back of the leg of beef. It’s a lean cut of meat with a lot of connective tissue, so it can be tough if not cooked properly, but when cooked low and slow it becomes incredibly tender and flavorful.
There are two main ways to cook rump roast: In the oven, like Grilled Beef Brisket Tipsor make in the slow cooker i can bake. This roasted beef rump recipe uses the first method, resulting in a tender inside and perfectly browned exterior.
Ingredients and Substitutions
This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for cooking beef rump roast, the role of each ingredient in the recipe, and substitution options.For measurements see Recipe card below.
- rump roast – This cut is similar to a roast, but leaner. Look for roasts that are well-marbled for optimal flavor and tenderness. If possible, choose ones with even thickness so they cook as evenly as possible.
- garlic – This rump roast recipe calls for whole cloves of garlic. Cut them in half.
- olive oil – This locks in moisture and helps the seasoning stick. You can also use avocado oil or any other heat-resistant oil.
- fresh herbs – I used a combination of fresh rosemary, thyme, and sage, but you can use any fresh herbs of your choice (3 tablespoons total). If you need to use dried herbs, use one teaspoon of dried herbs for each tablespoon of fresh herbs.You can also simply use a tablespoon italian seasoning For convenience.
- sea salt and black pepper
How to Cook a Rump Roast
This section shows how to make rump tenders, with step-by-step photos and details on the technique to help you visualize it.For full instructions, including quantities and temperatures, see Recipe card below.
- Stuff the roast with garlic. Use a sharp knife to cut small slits all over the roast (in different areas and spaced apart) and insert the garlic cloves into the slits.
- Mix seasonings. In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, rosemary, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper.
- Season the meat. Spread oil and herb mixture evenly over roast, covering all sides.
- Start baking over high heat. Place rump roast on grill Baking pan and transfer to the middle rack. Place the rump roast in the oven and roast over medium-high heat for half an hour.
Tip: To shorten the cooking time, you can grill the outside in a cast iron Dutch oven.
Brown on all sides over high heat until a brown crust forms, then oven process on lower heat underneath. (Oven times may vary if using this method.)
- Reduce heat and bake slowly. Continue baking at a lower temperature until toasted to your liking. (See times and temperatures below.)
- Rest and serve. Remove roast from oven. Wrap the top with foil and let rest before slicing. (Resting is important to ensure it stays juicy!)

The cooking time for your rump roast recipe depends on the method you use. The dish is cooked over high heat to form a brown crust, then over low heat to soften.
The time required can vary greatly depending on the size of the roast and how roasted you want it to be.For best results, use probe thermometer (will beep when ready!), but regular meat thermometer Also works. Use this temperature chart as a guide:

medium rare | 125-130 degrees Fahrenheit (52-54 degrees Celsius) |
