What Is Sous Vide Cooking?
Normally, sous vide cooking caramelizes an inexpensive cut of beef with some seasonings.
After that, it is slow-cooked in a water bath, and you can use an immersion cooker for this until the meat becomes tender and mouth-watering.
There won’t be a need to tenderize, given that the seasoning blend and sous vide will do all the work.
Making sous vide rump roast is a fast and simple way to get ideal results all the time, particularly if you are cooking for a crown or meal prepping for the week.

Slicing it thin and using it for French dip or Italian beef sandwiches is one of the most popular ways to serve this meat.
You also have the option of making a roast and slicing it throughout the week whenever you want a roast beef sandwich, and you can use whatever toppings you have on hand.
You can serve traditional open-faced beef sandwiches if you are using the cooking liquid to make gravy.
In addition, it works equally well as the core of a grand dinner.
Below are a few of the dishes I would suggest that you serve with this easy recipe:

Rump Roast Sous Vide Recipe
You can use this rump roast sous vide recipe to make a perfectly medium-rare roast that is juicy and soft on the inside with an incredibly caramelized crust on the exterior.
Ingredients
Sous-Vide Rump Roast
- 2.5 Ibs of rump roast
- 2 teaspoons of sugar
- 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, olive oil, or vegetable oil
- 1.5 tablespoons of kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons of freshly cracked pepper (stay away from using finely ground pepper)
To Serve
- 6 servings of hash brown
- 6 eggs (poached or fried)
Instructions
Sous-Vide Rump Roast
- First, you are to pat dry the roast cut with a paper towel. After that, mix the salt, pepper, and sugar together in a bowl, then spray the spices over the roast and press them into the meat to create a crust.
- Get a bag, and make sure it is large enough to hold the roast. Seal one edge of the bag and place the beef roast in the bag.
- Add the butter to the roast, and then vacuum seal the bag. That being done, fill a 12-qt container with water and attach the sous vide circulator.
- Ensure that you set the temperature to the right value; however, this is based on whether you want a rare or medium roast. For a medium rump roast, I strongly suggest you set it to 138 degrees F, then cover the sous vide with water, as this will help prevent evaporation.
- Submerge the vacuum-packed rump roast in the water when the water reaches the right temp. Make sure you monitor the time and let the rump roast cook for at least 18 hours, but it can be kept for up to 36 hours.
- Now, remove the bag from the water when the roast is done cooking, and then let the roast rest for a few minutes. Also, cut the edge of the bag and pour the jus into a bowl.
- After that, proceed to heat the cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and pour a little oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Then, caramelize the roast in the hot pan, and it should take around 45 seconds to 1 minute per side until the surface is seared.
- That being done, slice the sous vide rump roast into thick or thin slices and then serve with the jus.
To Serve
- For breakfast or brunch, you can serve breakfast potatoes with eggs or just hash browns.
