For an even deeper flavor, sear the rump roast in a hot skillet before placing it in the slow cooker. This will create a beautiful crust and add richness to the final dish. If you prefer a thicker gravy, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Leftover Italian beef is fantastic in omelets, pasta sauces, or even as a topping for pizza.
