Rump Roast
Roast beef is always a favorite for Sunday suppers and family dinners. I’ve made pot roast in the crock pot and roasted in the oven but my new favorite is on the grill!
We have smoked a couple of chuck roasts for Smoked Roast Beef Sandwiches and the Arby’s copycat, Roast Beef and Cheddar Sandwiches and they are so delicious. The rump roast is much more tender and just perfect to slice and serve with your favorite Sunday side dishes.
