Chilled & Frozen
Beef rump comes from the hindquarter above the leg and is made up of several muscles running in different directions, which gives it more flavour than fillet and more chew than sirloin. We supply it whole, seamed into individual muscles, cut into steaks at your thickness, or diced — carving direction matters more on rump than on most other steak cuts because of the mixed grain.
What it is
Rump sits above the top of the leg and is not a single uniform muscle but several joined together, each running a slightly different direction. That is why the grain visibly changes across a rump steak, and why a kitchen that carves it correctly gets noticeably more tenderness out of it than one that does not.
How it is prepared
Whole, seamed into its component muscles, cut into steaks at the thickness you specify, or diced for skewers and stroganoff — we prepare it to whichever of these your kitchen needs, rather than supplying one fixed format.
Typical trade use
Steak service, sharing platters, and dice for skewers and stroganoff cover most orders. Kitchens running rump alongside a carvery line often add our Beef Topside for a leaner roasting option, and our Beef Sirloin where a firmer steak is also needed on the menu. The wider Steak Cuts range and Beef category cover the rest.
Ordering notes
Tell us whether you want rump whole, seamed, steaked or diced, and at what thickness or weight — seaming in particular needs to be specified, since it changes how the cut carves. Kitchens working through a full rib-primal order also stock our Beef Ribs for a slow-cook option alongside rump’s steak use. Ingredient and allergen information is supplied with the goods; confirm the current specification.

Frequently asked questions
Why does rump need to be carved differently to sirloin?
Rump is made up of several muscles running in different directions rather than one uniform muscle, so the grain changes across the cut and carving direction needs to follow it.
Can rump be supplied diced?
Yes — tell us the dice size you need for skewers, stroganoff or stew use.
Cut specification, portion size and preparation notes are passed to our butchers exactly as you give them — we do not adjust or simplify them. Average unit weights vary from carcass to carcass; please confirm weights and case quantities when ordering.
