How long to cook a 6 lb rump roast in the oven?

Cooking time can vary depending on your oven and the desired level of doneness, but a general guideline for a 6 lb (2.7 kg) rump roast is as follows:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Season the rump roast with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.

3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and brown the roast on all sides. This step adds flavor and helps seal in the juices.

4. Place browned rump roast in a roasting pan. For medium-rare, a 6lb rump roast should cook at 350°F for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches about 130 to 135 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on your desired level of doneness.

5. Cover the pan and place it in the preheated oven.

6. Roast the rump roast for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness.

- for medium doneness, about 135-140 degrees Fahrenheit

- for well done, about 155-165 degrees Fahrenheit.

7. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
