Analyse seems to have been the more common spelling in 17th- and 18th-century English, but many of the great dictionaries of that time â John Kersey's of 1702, Nathan Bailey's of 1721 and Samuel Johnson's of 1755 â prefer analyze. In Canada, -yze prevails, just as in the US.
Oven Cooking. To slow-cook a rump roast in the oven, set the oven to 250 F. At this temperature, the roast will cook in about four hours, depending on the size of your roast. Place the roast in an oven-proof pot or Dutch oven with a lid. Add 1/2 to one cup of broth or red wine, so that the roast is partially covered.
Place the roast in the pan and sear it on all sides until golden-brown, about five minutes total. Use tongs to turn the rump roast over then needed. Heat the oven to 300 degrees. Remove the rump roast and set it aside. Turn the heat on the stove to medium and add aromatic ingredients to the Dutch oven or pan. Use 1/2 cup of standard mirepoix -- 2 parts diced onion to 1 part each diced carrots and celery -- per pound of roast.
