tough roast

stanimals2 · Jul 11, 2011

I found a beef rump roast in the freezer from our last beef and thought maybe it would be good slow cooked on the hillbilly smoker. I injected it, rubbed it down , wrapped it in foil and off we went. I put it on at around 200 degrees and cooked it until 1:30 last night. I couldnt wait to get home tonight to try it, well tougher tha shoe leather is all I can say all be it good tasting shoe leather :shocked: Well needless to say it is now in the slow cooker in chicken broth cooking down, if that doesnt do it the dogs will eat good anyway :thumb:

Bummer. If you try one in the future, do it at a high heat, say 325-350 and cook to your desired level of steak/roast doneness (medium or whatever).

My experience has been that these roasts don't have enough internal fat to break down well with slow cooking (unlike brisket or chuck). Thus, I agree with Chris. Use high heat and get it to the doneness level you want (I like medium) then slice it very, very thin across the grain. Makes a great sandwich.

What was the internal temperature when you took it out of the cooker? I cook lean roasts like that to 125 - 130 internal.

Well I have to admit after it was all said and done it might have turned out to be the best pot roast I ever made, might have been a good mistake !! After cooking half the night in the slow cooker it fell apart as tender as I ever tasted aand the rub and smoke made a great flavor I have never had in a pot roast. Who knew LOL!!

Yup like Hub said it's a lean piece of meat that has no reason to be slowe cooked. Smoked yes but way to lean. Cook high heat to med at the most slice thin and enjoy.
