Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450 F. Set out rump roast on counter to bring to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps the roast cook more evenly.
    2 -2.5 lb rump roast
  • Rub the roast with your preferred spice rub. I use our farmers blend seasoning, which is a mix of salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, red pepper flakes, onion and garlic. A simple salt and pepper rub works, too.
    You can slit the top of the roast, and rub the spices in-for more flavor.
    1-2 tbsp farmers blend spice rub

  • Add your roast to the roasting pan. And bake in oven for 20 minutes at 450 F.
  • After 20 minutes, remove from oven and add 2 cups beef broth to the bottom of your roasting pan. This helps prevent the roast from getting dry. Lower the oven temp down to 275 F and put roast back in oven. Bake at 275 F until you've reached your desired internal temp
    For a 2 lb roast, this will take 40-70 minutes. Around 20 minutes per lb for a rare roast (pull at 115 F- 120F) - for medium (125 F), it will take closer to 70 minutes. See graph inside blog post for more help determining your cook time- just be sure to check temperature as times WILL vary!
    Keep in mind the roast will usually to cook/raise in temp a bit after it is out of the oven. That is why we remove from oven appx 5 degrees below your desired temp and let rest.
    2 cups beef broth
  • Really keep an eye on the internal temp of this roast. If you overcook it, it won't be as juicy- and that is the best part! Your meat thermometer will be your best friend in this recipe. Make sure you temp the meat in a thick area of the roast.
  • Once baked to your preferred temp, remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes before cutting against the grain, into slices. Enjoy with a side of roasted veggies or cheesy potatoes for the perfect comfort meal!

Notes

Nutrition information is only an estimate. This can vary widely simply on the cut of beef and how lean it is.
Just remember- do not overcook this if you want a juicy roast! The meat thermometer is your friend in this recipe.
Storage Instructions:
Freezer Prep: let roast cool and then wrap 1-2 slices in saran wrap at a time. Store in freezer safe container. Grab them out of the freezer and warm in microwave.
Refrigerator: store in airtight container for up to 4 days. Warm in microwave.
** I add 1-2 tbsp of broth to roast when warming up in microwave to try and prevent it from drying out. 
 
Note: rump roast is not as tender as roasts such as chuck roast, but this recipe helps improve and provide tender moist flavor!
