Ingredients

  • 3 pounds rump roast (see notes above for meat options)
  • kosher salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 (2-ounce) package dry onion soup mix
  • 1 cup beef broth (or beef stock)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Remove roast from refrigerator and allow to come to room-temperature (about 30-40 minutes). Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (read notes above for more time and temperature roasting options). Trim excess fat from roast and generously rub all sides with Kosher salt.
  2. In a heavy roasting pan or Dutch oven, over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add roast to pan and sear on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side. You want the roast to be brown all over.
  3. Sprinkle onion soup mix over the roast and pour beef broth over the top and around the inside of the roasting pan.
  4. Cover and roast in the oven for 2.5-3 hours or until beef is tender with an internal temp of 200-210 degrees F (add 40-60 minutes per pound over 3 pounds).
  5. Allow roast beef to rest 10-15 minutes, still covered or wrapped in foil, before carving. While the roast rests, make gravy (optional, see notes above). Use a sharp knife to cut into slices and serve!
