Cook mode Prevent screen from turning off

Ingredients

  • The Meat: 3 lb. roast rump (Note: Must be labeled rump, not bottom round)
  • Seasonings:
  • 2 tsp Weber Steak ‘n Chop seasoning
  • 2 tsp Weber Chicago Steak Seasoning (or your favorite blend)
  • Aromatics & Oil:
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic
  • 1/8 cup olive or vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Temper the Meat: Remove the roast from the refrigerator 30 minutes to 1 hour before cooking to take the chill off.
  2. Prep the Garlic: Peel and smash your garlic cloves to release their natural juices.
  3. Insert Flavor: Using a sharp knife, make 3 to 4 deep slits in the roast and insert the smashed garlic cloves into the meat.
  4. Season: Place your seasonings on a plate. Rub the entire roast with olive oil, then roll it in the seasonings until evenly coated.
  5. Set the Rack: Place the roast on a roasting rack, fat side up. (If you don't have one, a cooling rack on a foil-lined sheet pan works perfectly).
  6. The High-Heat Sear: Insert a digital meat thermometer into the center. Place the roast in a preheated 450°F oven for 25 minutes to create a beautiful brown crust.
  7. Slow Roast: Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue cooking until your thermometer reaches your desired doneness:
  8. Medium: Remove at 150°F and let rest for 15 minutes.
  9. Medium-Well: Remove at 155°F and let rest for 20 minutes.
  10. Serve: Always carve the roast against the grain for the most tender slices.

Notes

Tammy’s Tip: Because the rump roast is such a high-quality cut, it stays juicy all on its own without needing extra liquid in the pan!
