For added depth of flavor, consider searing the roast in a combination of butter and olive oil. If you like carrots and potatoes, add them to the pot during the last hour of cooking time. A dry red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, can be substituted for rum. For a richer gravy, whisk in a tablespoon of butter or heavy cream at the end of cooking.
