Ingredients For Rump Roast

Rump roast- an extra lean piece of beef, full of rich beefy flavor.
Olive oil- to rub on the roast, helps get that golden brown crust and helps the seasonings stick.
Worcestershire sauce- a smoky condiment that adds so much flavor.
Brown sugar- light or dark, this will add some sticky sweetness.
Garlic- pressed, a favorite savory spice.
Seasonings- salt and pepper, added to taste.

How To Cook a Rump Roast In The Oven

Step 1: Make the seasoning sauce. Remove the meat from the fridge 1 hour before you plan to cook it. Mix Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Set the seasonings mix aside for later.

Step 2: Season the roast. Rub the roast with olive oil and then rub the prepared seasonings all over the roast and allow it to rest for 1 hour. You can leave it covered on the counter. Don't put it in the fridge.

Step 3: Bake the roast. Preheat oven to 425°F and bake the roast for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, reduce the heat to 325°F and cook the beef for another 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness.

Step 4: Slice and serve. When done, remove the roast from the oven. Allow the roast to rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve it alongside your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.

Internal Temperature of Rump Roast

When cooking your beef rump roast, you'll want to check it towards the end of the baking time to see how it's coming along. You can stick a meat thermometer in the center of the meat to check the internal temperature:

Rare: 125°F
Medium-rare: 130°F-135°F
Medium: 140°F-145°F
Medium-well: 150°F

What To Serve With Rump Roast

It's delicious with any veggie and comfort food sides. Some of my favorites are this broccoli Velveeta casserole, cheesy mashed potatoes, Jiffy jalapeno cornbread, carrot casserole, and crack green beans.

How To Store and Reheat Beef Roast

In the fridge: If you have any leftover beef roast, it's delicious stored in a sandwich, salad, or just alone. Transfer any leftovers to an airtight container and store them for up to 4 days.

In the freezer: You can also store leftover roast in the freezer for up to 3 months. Wrap any slices individually in plastic wrap before storing them in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container.

Reheating: I've found the best way to reheat leftovers is in a baking dish with a little splash of beef broth. Cover the dish in foil and heat in a 350°F oven for about 20 minutes or until warm.
