A Little Wine, A Little Rump

While you busy yourself with all your other Valentine’s details, why not let the crockpot juice up your rump? As I drove the kids to school today, I heard that mint was thought to be an aphrodisiac, so I decided that definitely needed to go in the crockpot with the merlot and rosemary. All day long, my husband has been lifting the lid off the crockpot just to get a whiff of my secret concoction. Heehee. See the recipe…

Roasted Rump

3 lb. angus rump roast
Seasoned salt
1 tsp. minced garlic (from jar is fine)
2 T. olive oil

8 c. water
1 c. wine
2 T. dried minced onion
3 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. mint flakes
2 tsp. rosemary
8 little red potatoes

Trim excess fat from roast, and sprinkle all sides with seasoned salt. Toss in skillet with olive oil and garlic and brown on all sides over medium-high heat.

After browning, place in large crockpot with remaining ingredients and cook on high for 8 hours. Serve au jus style with little custard cups filled with crockpot juices.
