Yes fisher I'm with - you Rump in the crockpot just doesn't seem to work as well as in the oven. As for so called 'crappier' meats some of these are the most tender & tasty with long slow cooking hence the reason they have become more and more expensive. Have you seen the price of neck chops lately ? they are dearer than rump or mince & I won't mention the cost of lamb shanks lol

i love rump steak, great for kebabs and for steak with onions and gravey! perfect for stirfrys, and beef salads e. g. thai beef salad, and great just as a meal of steak as its so tasty, dont cook too long though as the girls above said it will go tough on you in a slow cooker etc.

yes, it toughens in a slow cooker/crockpot, but casseroled in the oven in an ordinary casserole dish, it is fine.

Have used lamb neck chops in crock pot and lamb shanks roasted for years and years and slowly watched them increase in price relative to popularity. . ox tails were another cheap as chips meat and now chicken necks are doing the same... been 2. 59 a kilo for ages (I boil them up for stock and then the dogs get a treat) went to 2. 89, 3. 29 and now 3. 50 a kilo. . Great tasty food and has been first choice for me, smiling away as folks passed them by. . now the secrets out. . oh well . . lol :}

Weren't you complaining the other day about the price of meat in the supermarkets and saying how you swapped the price labels? Now you are praising your local butcher.

No such thing as crappy meat, some meats are better for some dishes than others though, theres a good dish for every cut.

Just double check each meat as you buy it but the general rule of thumb is the more it costs the tenderer it is. And the parallel rule of thumb is the tenderer it is the quicker you cook it.
so, the cheaper the bit youy have the longer you cook it and it comes out tender (casseroles etc)
the dearer the bit you have the quicker you cook it so it doesnt turn tough and dry out.
BUT butcher to butcher will vary prices depending on the age of the meat so cheap and dear doesnt necessarily mean tough/tender so google each peice you buy. but tough slow cook, tender fast cook:)
