Beef rump is a flavorful, lean cut from the hindquarter (buttocks/rear leg) of the cow, known for being less tender than premium steaks but packed with beefy taste, often used for steaks (rump steak), roasts, or braises. In South Africa it's a staple for a braai. It's generally more affordable and cooks beautifully when seared quickly or cooked low and slow for roasts, absorbing marinades well.
