Hey there! Your rump roast might be coming out chewy because it's not cooked low and slow enough. Try cooking it at a lower temperature for a longer time to break down the tough fibers. Happy cooking!

Chewy rump roast is a bummer! Make sure it's cooked low and slow with plenty of liquid to keep it tender, and let it rest before slicing to redistribute the juices.

I feel your frustration. The trick that helped me is marinating or brining the meat to tenderize it. I use an acidic marinade (consisting of vinegar or citrus) or brine with salt and spices. I submerge the meat in it before cooking. I hope this helps.
