FAQs

Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?

While a rump roast is ideal for its flavor and tenderness, you can also use other cuts like chuck roast or round roast. Just ensure the cut has enough fat to stay moist during the long cooking time.

Can I cook this on High if I’m short on time?

Yes, you can cook the beef on High for 4 to 5 hours if you need it done quicker. However, for the best results, cooking on Low for 10 to 12 hours allows the flavors to develop fully and the meat to become more tender.
