I must wholly disagree with the other review. Any chef knows that beef rump is absolutely one of the worst cuts of meat to use. Try using cross rib roast and this recipe may be serviceable

I had to do some subbing: broccoli for the bean sprouts & shallots for the scallions, lol, but it was DEEELICIOUS!!! This is THE yummiest broth I've ever had. Made for My 3 Chefs 11/08.
