I like my beef lean, which makes rump meat a good choice for me. One of the leanest parts of the cow, and a relatively inexpensive cut. The problem with rump is that it's usually a little tough (but still juicy and wonderful), which is good for those who prefer their meat with a little bite.

I like my beef lean, which makes rump meat a good choice for me. One of the leanest parts of the cow, and a relatively inexpensive cut. The problem with rump is that it's usually a little tough (but still juicy and wonderful), which is good for those who prefer their meat with a little bite. Personally, I don't prefer the relative toughness but the flavour and lower price makes it worth it.At Out of Africa, they serve their rump as a kebab (but still ordered like a steak - with your choice of done-ness). I like mine medium-rare. It took me a little effort to eat (due to my problematic teeth), but the flavour of rump meat was so ruggedly meaty. Given the option of several sauces, I immediately jumped at the option of blue cheese sauce which I think is strong, yet the rump meat stood up against it very well.
Side dishes include wilted spinach, carrots, and mash. I loved the wilted spinach - it was so buttery and creamy, it almost didn't occur to me that I was eating green vegetables. So, so good.
The mash is smooth and dense, the way it should be. To me there's never a good excuse to mess up a mash - it's too simple and should always be done right (and they did).
Probably wouldn't be my prime choice if I wanted beef or steak, but nevertheless a good choice when location or price are among the factors influencing my destination for beef.
