Preparation and Cooking
- Season the 2 lb rump roast with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. In a large Dutch oven, brown all sides of the roast for 5 minutes until a deep golden crust forms.
- Spread the 1/2 cup horseradish evenly on top of the browned roast, then add 1/2 cup water to the pot.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 90 minutes.
- Bring the liquid back to a boil, then add the 4 halved potatoes, 4 carrots, and 4 small onions. Cover and cook for 1 hour longer, or until the vegetables are fork-tender and the beef pulls apart easily.
💡 Make-Ahead & Storage: This pot roast tastes even better the next day. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stovetop.
