FAQs about rump steak
Some rump steak is aged for a few weeks before sale. This lets connective tissue break down over time and tenderizes the meat. The moisture that evaporates from the muscle also makes the flavor stronger. During aging, also called dry-aging, meat hangs on special racks at temperatures close to freezing.
Dry-aged beef is more costly, but you can save money by approximating the aging process in your refrigerator. Remove your rump steak from the package, rinse it, and dry it with paper towels. Then, cover it in cheesecloth and put it back in your refrigerator. Replace the cheesecloth daily for three or four days, and then cook your rump steak.
Picanha is a cut of rump steak that's popular in Brazil and Portugal. It's the meat around the base of the spine, and it's sometimes called top sirloin cap, rump cap, rump cover, or coulotte. The word "picanha" comes from a term for the pole used by ranchers in Portugal and Spain for herding cattle. This cut has a thick layer of fat that adds plenty of flavor.
Rump steaks are much leaner than most other cuts of beef, so they're a great choice for people who want to eat healthily. They contain protein, vitamin B12, vitamin B3, vitamin B6, iron, phosphorus, selenium, and zinc.
Look for rump steaks that have a bright red color, even edges, and some marbling. They should feel firm and cold. Avoid rump steaks with liquid at the bottom of the package. USDA Prime rump steak is the best quality, and it comes from cows whose age is younger than 3. Only around 3% of beef gets this designation. USDA Choice is medium-quality, and Select is leanest.
