Ingredients

  • 2 lbs rump skirt roast
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Note: For the best flavor, choose a good quality red wine that you would enjoy drinking.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  • Season the rump skirt roast generously with salt and pepper.
  • In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Sear the rump skirt on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for about 45-50 minutes, or until the meat reaches your desired level of doneness.
  • Remove the rump skirt from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board while you make the sauce.
  • In the same skillet over medium heat, add the butter, onion, and garlic.
  • Sauté until the onion is translucent.
  • Deglaze the skillet with red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the beef broth and reduce the sauce by half.
  • Stir in the chopped herbs and season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Slice the rested rump skirt against the grain and serve it drizzled with the red wine and fine herbs sauce.

Tips & Tricks

  • Letting the meat rest before slicing helps retain its juices, ensuring a moist and flavorful roast.
  • For a thicker sauce, you can whisk in a tablespoon of flour or cornstarch dissolved in water during the last few minutes of cooking.
  • Pair this dish with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
