Ready to give this recipe a shot? Wait up! You might want to have these little tips and tricks handy too!

• You can experiment and try out this recipe with different cuts of meat if you don’t have a rump roast. Chuck roast, sirloin tip roast and bottom round roast are some good options.
• You can use either a crock pot or a traditional slow cooker pot to make this rump roast. If you don’t have either of these, you can stick to using your Instant Pot too.
• To lend more flavor to this dish, you can also add some minced garlic cloves or garlic powder, and some chopped yellow onion or onion powder.
• In fact, you can also add in a seasoning mix of your choice into the mix to add more flavor to the cooking liquid. Italian seasoning is also a great choice.
• To add an extra dimension of deliciousness, swap the regular salt with celery salt, kosher salt or pink Himalayan salt.
• You can also add some olive oil to bring some richness to the beef broth in the slow cooker pot roast.
• A dash of brown sugar can really add some extra flavor and deliciousness to the slow cooker pot roast.
• If you want to thicken the beef broth, you can prepare a simple slurry using corn starch and some water, and add it to the mix while stirring continuously.
• If you feel your slow cooker beef roast is lacking some flavor, throw in some Worcestershire sauce towards the end, and give it a good mix.
• Mushroom soup can also be a great addition to the beef roast if you don’t have Worcestershire sauce.
• You can also meal prep this dish. Once the beef roast is slow cooked, allow it to cool down completely before you refrigerate or freeze it.
• You can also try a low sodium version of this pot roast by using low sodium broth and watch the amount of celery salt or any other seasoning you’re adding.

How Do I Store the Leftover Rump Roast?

If you have any leftover slow cooker rump roast, you can move it to an airtight container and refrigerate it for 2-3 days.

The best way to reheat this is to microwave it until it is nice and hot.

What Can I Use Instead of a Slow Cooker?

I would recommend sticking to using a large slow cooker, an Instant Pot or a crock pot to make this slow cooker pot roast.

If you don’t have any of these, you can also choose to use a cast iron Dutch oven. Remember that the cooking time for the chuck roast in the crock pot will be different from that when cooked in the Dutch oven.

How to Serve the Slow Cooker Rump Roast

Typically, a slow cooker rump roast is best served with some mashed potatoes and other sides of your choice.

This one, however, doesn’t need you to make any additional sides- the dish already has some tender veggies added in.
