100% Grass-Fed, Cool-Climate Raised Angus
What sets the Southern Ranges apart is more than just location; it's the dedication to natural raising practices. These cattle are reared on open pasture in the pristine environment of Victoria’s southern farming region.
With clean air, nutrient-rich grass and no added hormones or antibiotics, the result is beef that’s both flavourful and ethically produced.
Grass-fed beef is leaner, higher in omega-3s and iron, and offers a depth of flavour that grain-fed beef often lacks.
Southern Ranges takes that standard even further by selecting only well-marbled cattle, tenderness and eating quality every time.
The Rump Cap Cut – Underrated and Unforgettable
Known as Picanha in Brazilian barbecue culture, the rump cap is a triangular muscle located on the top of the rump. A thin line of fat separates it from the rest of the rump and features a thick, flavour-rich fat cap that renders beautifully during cooking.
While it’s less tender than a fillet, what it lacks in softness it more than makes up for in robust, beefy flavour. The MB4+ marbling in this cut ensures every bite is juicy and satisfying, without needing heavy seasoning or marinades.
The shape of the cut also makes it incredibly versatile; cook it whole and slice it against the grain, or portion it into thick steaks and grill them individually.
Cooking Recommendations
The Southern Ranges Rump Cap performs best with high-heat searing and controlled, even cooking. Here are three tried-and-true methods to get the most out of this exceptional cut:
- Brazilian Churrasco Style: Slice the rump cap into thick strips, fold them into a crescent shape, skewer and season with coarse salt. Grill over charcoal, turning regularly until charred on the outside and medium-rare in the centre.
- Whole Roast: Score the fat cap, rub with sea salt and herbs, then slow-roast fat-side up at 160°C until the internal temperature reaches 54–56°C. Rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain.
- Reverse Sear: Cook the whole cut in the oven at low heat until almost done, then finish in a hot cast-iron pan or over flames to develop a crisp crust.
Regardless of your method, be sure to rest the meat properly and slice against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Packaging & Storage
Each rump cap is vacuum-sealed in food-safe, freezer-ready packaging to lock in freshness and extend shelf life. The packaging process also helps retain moisture, prevent oxidation and make portioning easier for home cooks or chefs alike.
- Refrigerated Shelf Life: Up to 10 weeks.
- Storage Tip: Store chilled at 0–4°C or freeze immediately upon delivery
If frozen, allow the rump cap to thaw slowly in the fridge overnight. Avoid using a microwave or hot water, as it can damage the texture of the meat.
