Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes
Servings: 4-6 servings
Ingredients:
For the Miso Rump Roast:
- 2 lbs rump roast
- 3 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
For the Gravy:
- Pan drippings from roast
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth or stock
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Crushed Potatoes:
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes (or any small potatoes), washed and halved
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Marinate the Rump Roast:
- In a bowl, mix together white miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, honey or brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.
- Rub the marinade all over the rump roast, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.
2. Cook the Rump Roast:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Heat vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Sear the marinated rump roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Transfer the skillet or Dutch oven to the preheated oven.
- Roast the rump roast for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135-140°F (57-60°C) for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your desired doneness.
- Remove from oven and let the roast rest on a cutting board tented with foil for 15 minutes before slicing.
3. Make the Gravy:
- Place the skillet or Dutch oven with the pan drippings over medium heat on the stovetop.
- Sprinkle flour over the drippings and whisk to combine, cooking for 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
- Gradually whisk in beef broth or stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Simmer until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm until ready to serve.
4. Prepare the Crushed Potatoes:
- While the roast is resting, place baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water.
- Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Add butter and milk or cream to the pot with the potatoes.
- Using a potato masher or fork, gently crush the potatoes until slightly mashed but still chunky.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve:
- Slice the rested rump roast against the grain into thick slices.
- Arrange the sliced roast on a serving platter.
- Serve with crushed potatoes on the side and drizzle with the savory miso gravy.
- Garnish with chopped fresh chives or parsley.
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure to let the roast rest before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender roast.
- Adjust the thickness of the gravy by adding more or less broth as needed.
- For a richer gravy, you can add a splash of red wine or Worcestershire sauce.
