I threw this recipe together using a slow cooker and flavors my Cuban stepfather always cooked with. It's easy and full flavored. Pairs great with rice or plantains.
3.3.19 I had just enough rump roast left from another meal. I’m so happy I finally got around to making this recipe that I’ve had on my radar for a while. This recipe is so, so very easy to make. I cooked at “normal” using the slow cooker feature on my Instant Pot®, checked at 3 hours (could’ve been done even sooner), and it was shreddable. I then switched to “less” and cooked for one more hour. The mojo and sour orange marinades combined with the juice coming from the rump roast is so darn flavorful that it knocked my socks off (well if I’d been wearing socks, today it’s flip flops). When serving, be sure to serve that marinade/sauce with the meal, don’t let an ounce of it go to waste. I left the meat a little chunky, just personal preference. Served with cilantro-lime rice, black beans with chopped onion, olives, and a loaf of Cuban bread bought at a Tampa Cuban bakery. I think this would be equally good made with pork loin instead of beef. Mojo pork is something you often find at Cuban restaurants. At any rate, this is the real deal folks. Katie, this one’s a winner, well done!
