The rump steak is a full-flavored, moderately tender steak cut from the hindquarter. It is firmer than loin cuts but more flavorful, making it a popular everyday steak. In Argentina the bife de cuadril is a beloved cut for grilling. It benefits from being left to rest well after cooking and sliced against the grain.
