Rump is a flavorful and relatively lean cut of beef taken from the backside of the cow, near the hindquarters. It is known for its robust flavor and firm texture, with a good balance of marbling that contributes to its tenderness and juiciness when cooked properly. Rump steak is versatile and can be prepared using various cooking methods such as grilling, pan-searing, or roasting. It is often recommended to cook rump steak to medium-rare or medium doneness to preserve its tenderness and flavor. While not as tender as cuts like tenderloin or ribeye, rump steak offers a rich beefy flavor that is appreciated in a wide range of dishes.
