📖 Variations

  • If you don't have beer on hand, use beef broth or red wine.
  • Try different herbs and spices in the rub such as rosemary or thyme.
  • For a little bit of heat, add a pinch or two of cayenne pepper to the rub.
  • If you don't have any Dijon mustard, try using yellow mustard instead.
  • If you don't have a rump roast, you can use a chuck roast instead, or even a prime rib roast.
  • Try making this with my homemade honey teriyaki sauce... so good.
  • Onion powder would make an excellent flavor addition to this marinade.

💭 Tips

Expert Tip: You can add the roast in its marinade to the freezer. When you're ready to serve let thaw overnight in the fridge and proceed with the recipe.

  • If you are short on time, you can marinate the beef for as little as 2 hours. But, this will result in a tougher roast.
  • The longer the beef roast marinades, the more flavorful it will be. Try up to 24 hours if you have the time.
  • Using fresh cracked pepper will give this rump roast a deep and rich flavor.
  • Cook time will vary based on the size of your roast.  If your roast is larger or smaller than 3 pounds you will need to adjust the cook time.
  • Be sure to allow the roast to rest for 10 minutes before carving for best results.
  • The cook time for this recipe should result in a perfectly medium roast.
  • Slice thin and against the grain.

      Good morning Restlesschipotle. I am a 64 year disabled guy who has been the cook for my wife and I for 34 years. As you I usually just end up throwing it the slow cooker. I've never heard of a guajillo chile is there a substitute? I live outside of Chicago in Indiana and can't believe I haven't heard of a guajillo chile. Thank you, when I make this I'll let you know and rate this recipe.

        Hmmm... you could use a chipotle. It would be a little different but still very good. OR you could leave it out completely!

      We use beer all the time for marinades. One of my favorites is beer and Italian dressing marinated chuck roast on the grill. So good. I can't wait to try this marinade!

        That sounds so good, Christie! I've marinated London Broil in Italian dressing but never added beer. Definitely going to try it!
