Eye of Rump

─ Alcatra

THE TENDEREST OF RUMP MUSCLES

The Rump is a boneless five-muscled primal that sits between the sirloin and topside. Rump Eye is made up of four of these muscles with differing tenderness and with the grain running lengthwise.

Also referred to as Rump Steak, this cut is a little firmer in texture, with a great depth of flavour. It’s a tasty, lean and relatively tender beef that you will find in most steakhouses. Eye of rump is the most tender of the sub-primal cuts and may be roasted whole. It may come with a fat border that is easily removed if preferred.
