instructions
    1

    Start by seasoning the rump roast with salt and black pepper on all sides. Allow it to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

    2

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the roast for about 3-4 minutes on each side until it develops a nice brown crust. This adds flavor to the dish.

    3

    Transfer the seared roast to a slow cooker. Add the beef broth, sliced onion, carrots, potatoes, minced garlic, and bay leaves around the roast.

    4

    Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Cook the rump roast for about 6-8 hours, or until it is fork-tender. The meat will absorb all the flavors, so don't rush this step.

    5

    Once the cooking time is complete, remove the roast and vegetables from the slow cooker. Let the roast rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

    6

    Optional: You can strain the liquid left in the slow cooker and reduce it on the stove for a delicious gravy to serve with your roast.
