How To Make Crockpot Rump Roast At Home

Crockpot rump roast is perfect for a happy Sunday meal. Trust me, it adds more taste and delight to family dinners. Here’s the recipe for a fork-tender rump roast that you can easily prepare at home in a crockpot.

Rump roast is challenging to cook due to its thickness and tough connective tissues. You may be wondering why I chose a crockpot for this recipe. A crockpot provides the right amount of heat and pressure. It slowly heats the beef and breaks down all its hard connective tissues. The fats and connective tissues get dissolved in the gravy inside the pot. All we’re left with is a delicious fork-tender rump roast.

To make a crockpot rump roast, mix the dry rub and spread it all over the roast. Sear the roast and put it in a crockpot with onion, garlic, bay leaves, and carrots. Add tomato paste, wine (optional), and salt. Cook it on a low setting for 8-9 hours. After the roast is cooked, thicken the gravy slurry by boiling and whisking it until smooth. Pour the gravy on the roast and serve it on a platter.

Steps To Make Crockpot Rump Roast

1. All Shades Of Brown

First, let’s make the dry rub for the roast. Mix the sweet paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and herbs for the dry rub in a plate and rub this mixture all over the roast. Then, heat oil in a heavy pot over a high flame and brown the roast liberally on all sides.

2. Times Moves Slow Here

Place the roast in a slow cooker. Add broth to the pot, return to a boil, and whisk to loosen up the brown bits. Add wine, tomato paste, and salt, and whisk to combine. This will give flavor to your rump roast.

Place onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and bay leaves around the roast in the slow cooker. Lay the strips of bacon on top of the roast and alongside it. Pour the beef broth and tomato paste mixture over everything. Cook it on a low setting for about 8-9 hours. Cooking the beef on a low setting is ideal for achieving a flavorful, tender result.

3. The Details Are All Slurry

Pour the liquid from the crockpot into a medium stockpot, leaving the roast and vegetables in the crockpot. Boil and whisk the gravy slurry, then continue whisking until the gravy has thickened. Season it with salt and pepper.

4. Roast With A Touch Of Gravy

Place the pot roast on a serving platter and spoon the vegetables around it. Discard the bay leaves and bacon. Pour a little gravy on it and serve with gravy on the side, along with potatoes and your choice of sides. Your delicious crockpot rump roast is ready!
