Whether you want to slice the entire rump for steaks, or keep the rump cap for a tender roast, rump is a versatile cut and one of the easiest cuts to slice.
Given the rump is a large cut, it’s crucial to chill your rump before slicing. Chilling your meat in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before slicing will help keep the meat in shape whilst slicing.
