Drunken Rump Roast - Master Recipe

Recipe Ingredients

12		Peppercorns
4		-- whole
1		Bay leaf
1		Thyme sprig
1 tablespoon	15ml	Vegetable oil
6 lbs	2724g / 96oz	Rump roast - trimmed
4		Beer
4		Leeks - 1/4 inch pieces
3		Onions - large, 1/4 inch dice
3		Carrots - med, 1/4 inch dice
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Salt

Recipe Instructions

Tie the peppercorns, cloves, bay leaf and thyme in a piece of damp cheesecloth.

Heat the oil in a large, heavy, non-reactive pot set over high heat. Add the roast and sear on all sides until browned. Add the beer and the herb packet to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover tightly, reduce heat, and simmer gently for 1 1/4 hrs.

Add the leeks and onions, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Add the carrots and salt, and simmer for 30 minutes longer.

Remove the roast, keep it warm, discard the cheesecloth packet and strain. Reserve the broth and the vegetable mixture separately. There should be about 6 1/2 cups broth.

Skim off the fat and reserve 1/2 cup broth. Refrigerate the remaining broth for use in the Cheddar-Beer Soup (see recipe).

Carve four 3/8 inch thick slices of rump roast against the grain. Drizzle with some of the reserved broth. Top each with 2-3 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture. Serve immediately. Wrap and refrigerate the remaining roast for later in the week.
