Rump Roast
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375F
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir in the olive oil until well combined. Let sit for 5-10 minutes so the herbs soften and the oil takes on their flavor.
Step 3
Rub the herb mixture all over roast, making sure it’s completely covered.
Step 4
Place roast in roasting pan and cook for 30 minutes to brown the outside.
Step 5
Reduce the oven temperature to 225F and continue cooking for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until an internal temperature reads 135F – 150F, depending on your desired level of doneness.
Step 6
Remove the roast from the oven and cover with it aluminum foil. Let the roast rest for 15-30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Remove the rump roast from the refrigerator 1-2 hours before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.
