Absolutely fantastic. Stick to the recipe and you can't go wrong.

OMG! If I could give this more stars I would. I used beef broth and rolled a 6 lb. rump roast in the seasoning and baked it. My favorite way to have roast. Thank you thank you thank you - my family loves it.

Great recipe... As a relative neophyte to the world of cooking, I found this entree to be easily prepared and definitely delicious. Did add a bit of Worcestershire sauce to enhance the flavors, as suggested by another reviewer. Served it with fresh asparagus and freshly baked sourdough, whole wheat french bread... Mmmmmm...

Good, although we're not huge beef eaters! We thought the meat was flavorful but the sauce was a bit too salty! I made gravy with the sauce... If I make again, I'd leave out the extra tsp salt since it called for 3 bouillon cubes too.

this was by far the BEST roast i've ever made.if you want awsome taste if you want easy if you want to feed a picky eater THIS IS THE ONE. i am telling you look no further!!!

Absouletly tender ...juicy ....and great tasting ! Reminded Us of porketta roast....but with beef ! Thank You.

Very tasty. A nice change from other relatively bland roast beef recipes. I did have a prob. w/ the cook time, however; I took the meat out 1 hr. early, & it was still *very* well done. Will have to watch it more closely next time!

We really enjoyed this. I didn't use the oil but did run olive oil on it as recommended in another review. I was afraid the spiced would be overpowering but they weren't. I cooked this in a crockpot for 8 hours and it was so tender.

this was excellent. the rub seasons the meat to perfection!

This was great! I had never made a roast before, and was intimidated, but it turned out wonderful. I put it in the crockpot for 7 hours. Made it for my BF for Valentine's Dinner. Try it with 'Red Potatoes with Beans' (also on this site) for a great meal. Thanks for sharing.

This was the best rump roast we ever had in 33 years of marriage. I cooked it stove-top in tightly lidded dutch oven for 6 hours and kept liquid at 1.5 cups by adding water as needed. Only used 1/4 cup oil. Added 1/2 can tomato paste to gravy. Thickened gravy at last minute with 2 T cornstarch. It has to be served in thick slices (3/4"). Do not cut more than you will eat. It can be sliced thinner the next day when cold. If you do not like slightly spicy food use just 1/4 teaspoon pepper flakes.

Really good recipe! I followed it exactly. The beef turns out so flavorful! And it is so easy to make! I definitely will make this again.

Very tasty! I wanted something a little different from the ordinary way I prepare a roast and this was it! I added a little dried rosemary to the spices,and an 8 oz can of tomato sauce to the water and beef bouillon, keeping the liquid to 1 1/2 c.What a fabulous aujuice that made! I cooked it all day in the slow cooker,which made it extremely tender. The smell while it cooked was heavenly, and the finished product was deliciuos! Will make again for sure.

This roast was absolutely delicious!! I made a few changes though...I added about 2 Tbsp. worchestershire sauce to the water. I also added only 1Tbsp oregano and increased the italian seasoning to 2 Tbsp. I poked holes in the roast and basted it with the juices about every hour or hour and a half. It turned out very juicy. We ate it as an entree the first day, and sliced it for hot roast beef sandwiches the next day. Yum! UPDATE: Due to my DH low cholesterol diet I now make this with only 1 TBSP of olive oil instead of a half cup. It's still very good but a lot less fat. You can also use a venison roast in place of beef (that cuts the fat to almost nothing!)

To be honest, I was a little leary about trying this resipe, due to the amount of spices. I thought it was overdoing it. Boy, was I wrong! This has such a wonderful flavor! And the gravy I make from the drippings is very good as well. All I have to do is thicken it, no seasonings or salt as with a lot of other recipes. I always cook my vegetables with the meat for the last portion of the cooking time and it gives them great flavor. My family loves it.

My husband grew up in Chicago and I made this recipe for him so he could have his beloved Italian Beef sandwiches. Unfortunately, this recipe was a big dud. While it was very tender, it has almost no flavor. I'll keep looking for a good italian roast beef recipe because this is not it.
