What each ingredient does
- Rump roast
- Provides the meat, which becomes tender as slow cooking breaks down its connective tissue.
- Butter
- Adds fat that helps the surface brown and gives the meat richness.
The step that matters
Browning the roast on both sides. Searing creates browned flavor through the Maillard reaction. A roast that is pale on the outside will taste flatter after the long, moist cooking.
