Instructions

  1. Season the rump roast evenly with kosher salt and black pepper.

  8. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, whisk in flour to form a roux, and cook for about a minute.
  9. Strain 3 cups of the cooking liquid into the saucepan with the roux and whisk until it simmers and thickens into gravy.
  10. Slice or shred the roast, serve with vegetables, and pour gravy over the top. Garnish with parsley if desired.
