Cut Overview
About This Cut

The hump is unique to Brahman cattle: a fat-rich muscle on the back with a buttery fat that melts at a lower temperature than regular beef fat. That means it self-bastes continuously as it cooks. Low and slow at 100 to 120°C for 4 to 6 hours. The result is somewhere between a roast and a confit. Save the rendered fat in the pan for cooking other cuts.

Reducing fat content: The fat in Brahman hump renders at a lower temperature than regular beef fat, meaning it melts through the meat as it cooks. Do not trim.

Tip: The high fat content of the hump means the burnt ends will crisp on the outside while staying completely soft and melting inside.
