What Is Your Favorite Rump Roast Recipe?

This is a recipe from a friend years ago.  We loved it SO much, I've never changed it!

 

Make sure you make something for the gravy!Smiley Happy

 

 

Rump  or Sirloin Tip (I do 5 lbs)

2 Cans mushroom soup

2 Pkg Lipton Dry Onion Soup packets

2 tsp. Thyme

2 Tbsp. parsley

2 Tbsp. Steak sauce

2 Tbsp. Worchestchire sauce

 

Cut off fat and place roast in deep casserole.

Mix all remaining ingredients and pour over.

Cover as tightly as possible.

Bake at 325 3 hrs.

You may need to thicken the gravy if the roast has a lot of juices.

I can't believe I scored a rump roast at the mobile food pantry this morning. I would normally use my pressure cooker, its missing a piece so I may use your recipe. I think I have everything already except for a covered pan.

@luvmyteddy4 Just cover the top of a deep casserole with foil.  You can do it!

I think I have a copper chef pan with lid that can go in the oven, no wes or steak sauce.

David has a great rump roast recipe in his first cookbook.   Also I make an Irish recipe with Guinness beer, I found it online and it is to die for.  I just googled Guinness recipes.

My favorite recipe for rump roast comes from an old issue of Cook's Country:

 

4 lb boneless rump roast (bottom round)

3 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp dried rosemary leaves

1 tsp dried thyme leaves

2 tbsp vegetable oil

 

Pat roast dry and sprinkle with 2 tsp kosher salt.  Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Mix rosemary, thyme, 2 tsp pepper, and 1 tsp kosher salt in dish.

Pat roast dry, brush with oil, and sprinkle with herb mix.  Roast on a rack set in a baking sheet.  Cook in 250 degree oven until leave-in meat thermometer registers 120 degrees, about 2 hours.  Turn off oven and keep cooking roast until thermometer registers 135 degrees (20-30 minutes).  Remove from oven and tent with foil for 1/2 hour.

 

Tasty Zip-Style Sauce (I serve this with other cuts of beef also):

8 tbsp butter

1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce

2 tsp minced garlic

3/4 tsp dried rosemary leaves

1/4 tsp dried thyme leaves

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1/2 tsp pepper

 

Bring all ingredients to just simmering in small saucepan, whisking constantly.  Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

Roast in the oven, I'n hungry now though!

4.75 pds -- how long do I cook it? What should the temp probe show when done?

 

I had almost everything so I'm winging it!

@luvmyteddy4  3- 3 1/2 hours should do it. Rest it.   Wonderful gravy, may need to thicken while resting. Slice thin.  Let me know!Smiley Happy

@luvmyteddy4 Sorry I didn't see this.  You didn't @ me.

 

To answer your question, hopefully you used some liquid like Worcestershire, garlic, and burgundy wine. 

It takes at the least 3 1/2 hrs.

 

Personally, since it's a tougher cut, I'd use a crockpot.
