What is Beef Rump?

Beef rump is the part of the beef carcass located just behind the ribeye, in the loin area. It is characterized by a uniform structure and slight fat marbling, making it excellent for roasting, braising, and long cooking.

Fresh rump has a slightly tougher structure than aged meat, so it is not the best choice for steaks, but it is perfect for dishes that require slow cooking. It can be marinated, roasted whole, or sliced thinly for stews.

This part of the beef is used to prepare classic cold beef dishes and pastrami – delicately smoked and cured meat that is a hit in New York delis!
