Extremely easy! I made this with what I had in my kitchen, so I didn't have thyme, and I only had a 1.65lbs. roast. I cut down the ingredients, and only cooked in the oven for 30min, came out great! Perfect temp inside.

Perfect! I took the suggestion of another reviewer and let my roast sit out for about 2.5 hours to come up to room temperature prior to cooking.
Next, I upped the amount of the essence seasoning using it in a liberal 'rub' fashion.
Once out of the oven, I removed the roast from the dutch oven to rest on a platter. While the roast was resting I placed the pan juices into the freezer for about 30 minutes so that the unwanted fats would thicken and rise to the top. I was able to skim the fat 'skin' from the juices and proceed with making the gravy.
The roast was delicious as was the gravy which turned out to be very dark and rich. I sliced up the remaining roast as thin as possible for sandwiches later in the week. The remaining gravy will freeze very nicely for a later use. I look forward to making this again with new confidence!

This is an excellent rump roast recipe, and the gravy is out of sight. I think one easy thing to miss here is letting the roast come up to room temperature before browning and roasting. I think that process is similar to cooking the roast at 72 degrees. I checked mine and it was 38 degrees out of the fridge. took about 4 hours to get to 60 and then after browning it was 70 degrees before going into the oven. I suspect this will help the folks that reported the toughness of the meat.

I guest 1/4" slices are too thick - usually my husband slices the meat and maybe I should have let him, but our roast turned out very tough - hopefully it was just the meat I had bought, as I'd like to try this recipe again. The gravy was marginal, at best, though - needed more flavor - I thought for sure the Essence, onion, and salt which had already gone into it would have given it enough flavor - I had two hungry men and didn't have time to taste and adjust the flavor before serving. The rice was perfect and delicious, with or without the gravy. I still give the roast a 4 - it was really easy, and I'm not giving up on this recipe.

It was wonderful. Nice and juicy. Simple flavor but really good. Like what my Grandmom made. This is up my alley for time and prep. You have to cut it thinly for the full effect. I'm having this for Christmas dinner.

The roast was delicious as long as you slice it thinly, otherwise you will find it tough. The gravy is wonderful and a big hit. I did not make the rice.
