Rump roasts , 3 of them followed me home from the grocery ... and I went
to get charcoal ! Well , actually I knew they swere on sale this weekend
for $2.99 /lb and had planned to pick some up when i got charcoal .
Turns out these are Angus , lightly marbled and well trimmed . Screamin'
good deal . Anyway , 2 of them went straight into the freezer , the
biggest one is in the refrigerator awaiting subdivision - as soon as I
decide what I want to make with it . I'm thinkin' about 2 lbs of stew
cubes and the rest (about 2 3/4 lbs) sliced for fajita/stir fry type
dishes . What do y'all make with this cut ? I know it's not particularly
tender ...

I learned from my grandmother that it makes great pot roast. I also
have the same Club Aluminum Dutch oven she used, after my mother passed.
I make it the same way she did and serve with mashed potatoes.

We've used it for stew also.

Â*Â*Â* The other 2 are destined for pot roast , I just thought I'd cut
this one up for other stuff we like . I make a killer stew ... and it's
been quite a while since we've had beef chow mein . Or fajitas ...

For grilling, cook at the hottest part but not for long..,You want this
one fairly rare.

It's plenty tender for braising, even good to grind for burgers,
meat-a-balles, or meat loaf. But make sure to trim away the silver
skin and gristle. It's okay for stir fry if you first slice it thin
and then marinate it for at least 24 hours.
I rarely buy bottom round, I much prefer top round and they are
usually the same price. $2.99 is typically the sale price here too.
After careful trimming and tying it'll make a nice pot roast. Also
very good for beef 'shroom barley soup. For soup I'd use it all as
beef shrinks in soups, after all it's about 80% water. Rough dice
intp 1/2" cubes and brown in batches, then set the meat aside and in
the same pot saute lots of diced onions and celery. Then add about
eight quarts of water with beef stock if you have or use boullion (use
a 12-16 quart pot). Simmer slowly for like two hours and add a diced
red bell pepper a diced carrot, a couple three bay leaves, and your
rinsed barley, 1 1/2-2 pounds, and simmer another hour or until the
barley is a consistancy you like, I like creamy with the barley still
recognizable, some like al dente or anywhere between. Add s n'p to
taste. NO garlic in this soup. During the simmering it'll lose some
water, you can always add more later. Eat some now and freeze some
for later.

Well, you could pound it with a meat mallet until it's fork tender and
make country fried steak and gravy out of it.

you could sous vide a nice chunk. 133 for about 48 hours will give you prime rib quality and wonderful flavor.

Â* I quartered it this morning , made 2 packages of stew cubes and 2 of
thin strips for stirfry or fajitters . Just eyeballed it , but all 4
packages came out quite close to 500 grams net weight . <My free triple

Â* Electronic ? Mine's a true triple beam with weights and all that .
Useta belong to a potter , she went digital . When I got it there were
no weights for 1 and 2 kilo , so I made some from lead I had on hand .
Still need to make the 500 Gm one but it hasn't been enough of an
annoyance doing without it ... yet .

Brilliant! Good for you) Aye mine are all electronic

Will you use the Gm more once you have made the right weights?

Â* I only need one weight now , the one that balances 500Gm . I've got
my dough weights and the weights for the various meats I break up into
smaller packages figured out in grams now so it's not a big deal .
