  • 1/2 tsp. celery salt

  • 1/2 tsp. thyme
  • 1/2 tsp. oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. rosemary
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1/4 c. soy sauce
  • 1/4 c. vinegar

  3. Grill the meat to desired doneness.

Tips & Substitutions

For enhanced flavor, marinate the roast for up to five days. If you're short on time, a few hours in the marinade can still yield good results. For a twist, consider substituting balsamic vinegar for the regular vinegar or using fresh herbs instead of dried ones. Ensure the roast is well-coated for maximum taste.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the marinated arm roast with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad. It pairs beautifully with Sauteed Zucchini-Carrots for a vibrant and nutritious meal. For a complete dinner, consider adding garlic mashed potatoes or a simple grain like quinoa to round out the plate.

Storage & Reheating

Leftover marinated arm roast can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. To reheat, slice the meat and warm it in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of broth or water to keep it moist. Avoid overheating to maintain tenderness.
