Simple Juicy Oven Baked Rump Roast
Are you a beginner at making roasts? This recipe is for you! Just grab a rump roast, a few seasonings and beef broth to create a juicy roast to impress your family!
Equipment
- measuring utensils
Ingredients
- 2 -2.5 lb rump roast thawed
- 1-2 tbsp farmers blend spice rub or a simple salt/pepper/rosemary/garlic mixture, other similar seasoning.
- 2 cups beef broth
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.
- 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.
- 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 that temperature until you've reached your desired internal temp - for me, that is 140-145 F. For a 2 lb roast, this will take 35-40 minutes, or around 20 minutes per lb. Keep in mind the roast will usually to cook/raise in temp a bit after it is out of the oven.
- 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!
