I'm not sure what happened here. When it was all said and done, the meat tasted of nothing but vinegar. I followed the instructions except I used a brisket cut instead of a rump roast. Could that have made that much of a difference?? About 3 days into the marinating process, I realized that there is 1 cup of water in the ingredient list that is not mentioned in the instructions. I wonder if it was supposed to go into the marinade? This was inedible. Sorry. -
