Winn Dixie has Rump Roast for $1.99@LB. I need some advice since the last time I cook one it came out tough.

I want to cook it in the oven or would the grill be better.

What temp for oven and what internal temp should I go by?

Please add any tips or tricks to make it come less tough.

Edit: The Roast is a little 4LBs

It's really hard to get a rump roast to come out tender since it is such a lean piece of meat. I usually just cut them up for stew/soup and chili meat in cubes so it cooks a long time to tenderize.


If I roast it, I'll cook it to no more than medium rare, let it rest for half hour or so and then very thinly slice it and add it to a brown gravy. That way it will get more tender being thinly sliced and in a gravy. Eat that over rice or mashed potatoes or use it to make roast beef sandwiches.

Use a meat thermometer to gauge internal temperatures is the best way to not let it cook too long.

It's part of their sale they have Fri-Sun. Look on the internet for their ad it comes out on Tuesdays.

I just cook that sucker till it's falling apart.
About halfway through the cook when it can still be handled, I take it out and I slice it about a half-inch thick. Put it back in the gravy.
It's the way my family likes it.

It's more of a debris like consistency.

Same. Sear the hell out of it in a deep pot then braise for several hours until tender. Use some of the remaining liquid for a gravy. Serve everything over rice.

Dry brine it. Liberally apply salt and seasoning to the outside and let sit in fridge overnight.

I've been using sous vide for rump roast. It comes out great.

Sous vide at 145 for ~8 hours, sear and slice thin to serve. Take sous vide liquid and add to pan used to sear, bring down almost dry and it will start to brown. Once darkened to preference, bring back up with water or stock.

The meat comes out tender and firm, the gravy bursts with flavor.


For a traditional cajun roast with a grease gravy

Salt, pepper, garlic (better if dry brined overnight) then sear. Roast in dutch oven until about 140-145 internal, about 2 hours. Pull out, rest, and slice thin. The gravy shouldn't need much if any work.

on a wire rack on a sheet pan rub your roast with olive oil, with the fat side up liberally rub with salt, pepper, granulated garlic, onion powder, and any generic "Italian seasoning" i like walmarts, but krogers is good too. preheat your oven to 400 degrees, put about a quarter inch of red wine in your sheet pan(this gets you a head start on your drippings for gravy).

cook 20 minutes at 400 and then reduce your oven temp to 275 and cook til the internal temp is 135 degrees.

remove from oven and let rest covered in foil.

the end pieces will be medium and the center will be medium rare and remember to slice thin and against the grain.

Try making Rouladen with it. My mother in law is German and it has become one of my favorite meals

I love a rump roast and have never had an issue with it coming out tender. I braise, covered in the oven. Makes great gravy.

I'm not singling you out, but is there any benefit to the rump roast beyond price? I always grab a chuck roast. Does it taste better?

We just did a Mississippi Roast with a rump roast. It came out great! Tis was my first time doing a Miss. Roast, odd combination a of in ingredients but all works together

That's the way I cook rump roast: Mississippi Roast

1. Sear the roast (3-4 lb.) , but it's not necessary - I do sometimes stuff a few cloves of garlic in the roast at random, but lately I don't bother with searing the roast
2. Season with salt and pepper and dust with flour- go easy with the salt as the seasoning packets have a lot of salt in them
3. Put roast in a slow cooker. Sprinkle 1 (10oz.) packet Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix (dry) over the top of meat, followed by 1 (1oz) packet au jus gravy mix (dry)
4. Add 1 stick (4 oz.) butter cut into pats on top of meat
5. Put about 10 pepperoncini pepppers on top of meat and drip some of the juice on the meat
6. Cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours or until tender
7. Skim off fat before serving.
I've served it with mashed potatoes, rice, egg noodles, or just alone on a slice of bread with Blue Plate Mayo and dill pickle slices - You talk about good!
