Pan-Searing and Oven Finish:
1. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
3. Sear D-rump for 2-3 minutes per side for a nice crust.
4. Transfer to the preheated oven and roast until desired doneness.
Reverse Sear:
1. Preheat the oven to a low temperature of 100-120°C (225-250°F).
2. Slow-roast D-rump on a wire rack on a baking sheet until about 10-15 degrees below your desired final temperature.
3. Heat a skillet or grill pan to very high heat. Sear 1-2 minutes per side to get a rich, flavorful crust.
Grilling:
1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. Grill D-rump over direct heat for 2-3 minutes per side for a nice sear.
3. Move to indirect heat and close the grill lid. Cook until desired doneness.
Tips
- Thermometer is Key: A meat thermometer is crucial, aiming for medium-rare (54-57°C/130-135°F ).
- Resting Is Essential: Let the D-rump rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to ensure maximum juiciness.
- Slice Against the Grain: Cut across the grain for the most tender bites.
Doneness Guide
Rare (52-55°C / 125-130°F): Very soft texture, very red center. Delivers maximum richness.
Medium-Rare (57-60°C / 135-140°F): Highly recommended for D-rump. The ideal balance of tenderness, juiciness, and the incredible flavor of this cut. Center is bright pink and warm.
Medium (63-65°C / 145-150°F): Slightly firmer texture, light pink center. Still tender and flavorful, but some of the luxurious melt-in-the-mouth quality is diminished.
Medium-Well (68-70°C / 155-160°F): Pinkish-gray center, noticeably firmer. Suitable if you prefer a more cooked-through steak, but some tenderness may be lost.
Well-Done (Above 71°C / 160°F): Generally not recommended for D-rump, as it can become tough and dry.
