Tips & Substitutions
For a more robust flavor, marinate the rump roast in the soy sauce overnight. If you don’t have garlic salt, fresh minced garlic works well. For a sweeter touch, consider adding a tablespoon of honey or brown sugar to the soy sauce. Keep an eye on the roast as cooking times can vary based on size; use a meat thermometer for best results.

For a heartier option, consider a baked sweet potato or a serving of rice to soak up the flavorful juices.
