  • Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Meat

  • 3 lb Rump roast

Herb & Garlic Mixture

  • 5 cloves Garlic (halved)
  • 3 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
  • 1 tbsp Fresh thyme (finely chopped)
  • 1 tbsp Fresh sage (finely chopped)
  • 1 tbsp Sea salt
  • 1 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) to prepare for roasting the rump roast at a high temperature initially.
  2. Prepare Roast: Slice 10 small slits evenly spaced around the roast and insert the halved garlic cloves into these slits to infuse flavor directly into the meat.
  3. Make Herb Rub: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, finely chopped rosemary, thyme, sage, sea salt, and black pepper to create a fragrant herb mixture.
  4. Coat Roast: Rub the oil and herb mixture evenly over all sides of the roast to ensure it is well seasoned and coated for optimal flavor and browning.
  5. Initial Roasting: Place the roast on a roasting pan and cook it in the preheated oven for 30 minutes to develop a crust.
  6. Slow Roast: Reduce oven temperature to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C) and roast for an additional 1 to 2.5 hours, depending on desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature: 115-120°F for rare, 125-130°F for medium-rare, 135-140°F for medium, and 145-150°F for medium-well.
  7. Rest Meat: Remove the roast from the oven and tent it with foil. Let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes to allow juices to redistribute and the temperature to rise by 5 to 10 degrees for optimal tenderness.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary depending on the size and shape of your roast, so using a meat thermometer is recommended.
  • Resting the roast is crucial for juicy and tender results, do not skip this step.
  • You can adjust the herbs based on preference; rosemary, thyme, and sage provide a classic flavor pairing for beef.
  • Slitting the roast for garlic infuses deep flavor but can be skipped if preferred.
  • Use a roasting pan with a rack to allow even heat circulation if available.
