Marinate the Rump Cap

Grill or Roast the Meat
If using a grill, place the rump cap directly on the grill and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness. If roasting, place the marinated rump cap in a roasting pan and roast in the oven for about 30-40 minutes for medium-rare, or until a meat thermometer reads 57°C (135°F).
