Tips for the Best Crockpot Rump Roast

• Sear the roast first (optional): In this recipe we are keeping it fast and not browning the beef. But for even more flavor, you can sear the rump roast in a hot pan with a little oil before placing it in the slow cooker. This locks in the juices and enhances the flavor
• Make it a gravy: Use a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water) and stir it into the broth before serving for a thicker, gravy-like sauce
• Swap the veggies: Try parsnips, sweet potatoes, or mushrooms for something different
• Meal prep friendly: Leftovers taste amazing the next day and reheat beautifully
