RUMP ROAST DUTCH OVEN RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425­°F.
• Brush roast with oil. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons minced onions, 1 tablespoon salt, the thyme, mushroom powder and granulated garlic. Rub mixture into roast.
• Place roast on a wire rack inside a shallow pan. Insert an ovenproof meat thermometer  horizontally in the thickest part of the roast. Roast for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 275°F and cook for 2 hours or until the thermometer registers 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, and 155°F for medium-well. (See tip)
• Remove roast from oven and tent with foil. Let stand 15 minutes.
• Pour beef juices from the roasting pan into a 4-cup measuring cup. Add beef broth and enough water to measure 3-1/2 cups. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add the liquids, remaining dried onions, the Worcestershire sauce and sugar. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, 5 minutes. Season to taste with pepper and more salt (if needed). Strain the mixture into small serving bowls. Keep warm.
• Carve the meat against the grain and arrange on a serving platter. Ladle some of the juices (au jus) over the beef slices.
• Serve carved rump roast with the remaining au jus alongside.
