Rump steak refers to a cut of beef taken from the hindquarters of the animal, specifically from the rump or bottom round area. It is a flavorful and relatively lean cut of meat, known for its robust beefy flavor and firm texture. Rump steak is typically well-marbled with fat, which contributes to its tenderness and juiciness when cooked properly. It can be prepared using various cooking methods, including grilling, pan-searing, broiling, or roasting. Due to its relatively lean nature, rump steak is best cooked to medium-rare or medium doneness to avoid toughness.
