Rump is actually the rear of the steer!.
very lean and very tough!.
Good for pot roast and anything that needs long stewing or cooking times!. For a steak, You would need great teeth with that one!.They usually put steaks made with that cut through a tenderizing machine which sliver the meat to help tenderize it!.
Usually refered to as "Minute Steaks" because you have to cut them very thin is order for them to be somewhat tender!.

Yankee pot roast is made with bonless chuck( the neck of the beef) again good for stews and pot roasts but better marbling then rump which is just one solid piece of muscle!.

Oh yes, I forgot the football roast!.
I can shape almost any cut into a football shaped roast especially top round( no doubt thats what it is)!.
Some butcher shop must have conjured up the name!.
In Reality is just a Roast beef from the top round( rear of the steer above the rump)!.
Huge piece of meat!.
Quite easy to do!.
This cut is roasted and not potted!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
