2. Roasting: Place the seasoned rump roast in a good-sized roasting pan. Add the water, red wine, and ginger ale to the pan, surrounding the roast.

3. Cover and Roast: Cover the roasting pan with a lid or aluminum foil to trap the moisture inside. Roast the beef in the preheated oven for approximately 2 hours, or until the desired level of doneness is reached.

4. Check for Doneness: To ensure the roast is cooked to your preference, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. I recommend aiming for an internal temperature of 150°F (65°C) for a tender and juicy result.

5. Basting: Periodically baste the roast with the pan juices to keep the meat moist and flavorful throughout the cooking process.

6. Resting: Once the roast is done, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Cover the roast loosely with aluminum foil and allow it to rest for about 10-15 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and succulent roast.

7. Prepare Gravy: While the roast is resting, prepare the gravy. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine flour and water. Shake vigorously until the mixture is smooth and free of any lumps.

8. Thicken Gravy: Transfer the roasting pan to the stovetop over medium heat. Pour the flour and water mixture into the pan juices, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.

9. Adjust Consistency and Flavor: If you prefer a thinner gravy, simply add more water until you reach the desired consistency. For a richer color and flavor, consider adding a seasoning and browning sauce.

10. Slice and Serve: Once the gravy is ready, thinly slice the rested beef roast against the grain. Serve the slices of tender beef with generous ladles of gravy, alongside your favorite side dishes such as garlic mashed potatoes or rice.

Enjoy this comforting and delicious Easy Beef Roast with your loved ones, and savor every flavorful bite! 🍽️🥩✨
