Rump roast is a cut from - you guessed it - the rump or the round of the animal. Since this part of the animal gets more use, the beef round is a bit tougher and leaner than other cuts of beef, such as chuck roast. These beef cuts are also less expensive. If you cook rump roast correctly, you have a delicious roast at a budget-friendly price. This is one of my top rump roast recipes. So let's do this!

Rump Roast Ready for Prepping

🥘 Ingredients

• Beef rump roast: You'll want about a 4 pound boneless beef rump roast to work with.
• Canola oil: If needed you can trade this out for vegetable oil, extra-virgin olive oil, or avocado oil.
• Herbs and spices: Dehydrated minced onions, kosher salt, dried thyme, ground mushroom powder, granulated garlic, no salt added beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, granulated sugar, Freshly ground black pepper- you'll see some recipes call for an onion soup mix packet, I find that this spice and herb combination brings the best flavors.

🔪 How To Make This Roast

Cooking a rump roast is so easy and fuss free. When you learn how to cook a beef rump the right way, you will love just how simple this roast is to make and how perfectly tasty it turns out.

• Season. A quick mix of dried onions, dried thyme, mushroom powder and granulated garlic is the highlight of this homemade beef rub that gets gently worked into the entire roast. Season with salt and pepper and it is ready to go. If you have never cooked with mushroom powder, I highly recommend it. Mushrooms add an amazing amount of umami to your roast, that you will wonder why you didn't use it before. If you already have some on hand - good for you - you will see it in several of my recipes as it provides such a great flavor.
• Roast. To cook a beef rump roast, start the roast at a higher temperature - 425° F to get the outside browned which adds more flavor. After 15 minutes, reduce the heat to 275° F and let the roast cook slowly for approximately 2 hours. This low and slow method roasts the beef perfectly without making it tough. I highly recommend using a oven-proof thermometer or an instant-read thermometer.
• Rest. Cover the roast with aluminum foil and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. The temperature will rise about 5 degrees while the roast is resting. I like my rump roast medium-rare, so I will pull the roast out of the oven just slightly before it reaches 135 degrees Fahrenheit. If you like it done differently, follow the steps in the recipe card.
• Make Au Jus or Gravy. To make a nice sauce for the rump roast, simmer the juices in the pan with beef stock, Worcestershire, and a pinch of sugar. This makes a wonderful sauce to drizzle over the roast or to use as a dip for roast beef sandwiches. If you prefer gravy instead of au jus, all it takes is adding a cornstarch slurry to the sauce mixture while it is simmering.
• Slice. After the roast has rested. Slice the meat against the grain and arrange on a serving platter. You can drizzle the slices with juice or gravy and serve the remainder alongside the carved roast.

🌡️ Helpful Tips for the Perfect Rump Roast Recipe

• Using a sharp knife and proper cutting board helps make cutting this delicious rump roast easier.
• Always use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of your roast reaches the safe temperature for consumption, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, and 150°F for medium-well.
• Remember that the internal temperature of the beef will continue to increase another 5 to 10° once removed from the oven, while it rests and cools, before you slice into your tender roast beef. So keep this in mind as you decide what temperature you would like to pull it out of the oven at.

📖 Variations

• Montreal Steak Seasoning. McCormick makes a great steak seasoning or you can use my homemade Montreal Steak Seasoning recipe.
• Herbs de Provence. This is a delightful blend of herbs and spices. You can find this item in grocery stores or online. You will need to season with salt and pepper too.
• Ready-Made Sauce or Gravy. You may already have your own favorite au jus or gravy recipe. If so, feel free to use it. If not, try this: Make gravy in place of the au jus. Make a slurry by combining 2 tablespoons cold water and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. In step 7 whisk the slurry into the liquid while simmering. Cook, stirring, 5 minutes or until desired thickness.
• Garlic. You can replace the granulated garlic with 3 minced garlic cloves or about 1 heaping teaspoon of minced garlic.

Calories 336 kcal

• 4 pounds boneless beef rump roast
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 3 tablespoons dehydrated minced onions divided
• Kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 2 teaspoons ground mushroom powder
• 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
• 2 cups no salt added beef stock
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• Pinch granulated sugar
• Freshly ground black pepper

• Preheat oven to 425­°F.

• Brush roast with oil. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons minced onions, 1 tablespoon salt, the thyme, mushroom powder and granulated garlic. Rub mixture into roast.

• Place roast on a wire rack inside a shallow pan. Insert an ovenproof meat thermometer  horizontally in the thickest part of the roast. Roast for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 275°F and cook for 2 hours or until the thermometer registers 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, and 150°F for medium-well. (See tip)

• Remove roast from oven and tent with foil. Let stand 15 minutes.

• Pour beef juices from the roasting pan into a 4-cup measuring cup. Add beef broth and enough water to measure 3-½ cups. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add the liquids, remaining dried onions, the Worcestershire sauce and sugar. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, 5 minutes. Season to taste with pepper and more salt (if needed). Strain the mixture into small serving bowls. Keep warm.

• Carve the meat against the grain and arrange on a serving platter. Ladle some of the juices (au jus) over the beef slices.

• Serve carved rump roast with the remaining au jus alongside.

• The meat will continue to rise in temperature 5 to 10 degrees while it is resting.  For this reason, I recommend taking your roast out of the oven about 5 degrees before it reaches the ideal temperature. The USDA recommends steaks and roasts be cooked to 145°F (medium) and then rested for at least 3 minutes.
• Make sure to use a beef stock and not beef bouillon as the flavors will not be the same.

Variations:

• You can replace the granulated garlic with 3 cloves of minced garlic or about 1 rounded teaspoon minced garlic.
• Make gravy in place of the au jus. Make a slurry by combining 2 tablespoons cold water and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. In step 7 whisk the slurry into the liquid while simmering. Cook, stirring, 5 minutes or until desired thickness.
