Ingredients

2.5 kg beef rump roast cut at room temperature
6 garlic cloves
2 tbsp salt flakes
6 black peppercorns
2 Superb Herb bay leaves
1 large fennel bulb sliced
4 sprigs Superb Herb rosemary
1 large leek sliced thickly
2 carrots peeled and roughly chopped
3 ½ cups water

To serve:

Mashed potato with thyme leaves
Winter greens blanched
2 sprigs Superb Herb mint

Instructions

Turn your slow-cooker on high if using.
With a sharp knife, make a few slits in the meat and place a halved garlic clove in each. Season with salt.
Place your vegetables and rosemary into the slow cooker or Instant Pot and add the water.
Add the rump. Place the lid on the slow cooker, turn the heat setting back to low and cook for 4-5 hours. If using the Instant Pot, set time for 1 hour and 45 minutes.
Serve with blanched greens and creamy mashed spud, plus a reduction of the juices from the slow cooker pan (Take 1/2 cup of the juices, add a splash of red wine and bring to the boil in a small frypan, simmer a few minutes until thickened, add a dash of cream and season. Pour over and enjoy)

Notes

Tip; Always take your meat out of the fridge well before you are going to cook it, so it gets to room temperature. Resting post cooking is always favorable too.
