Ingredients
Instructions
- Sprinkle the beef roast with meat tenderizer and garlic salt.
- Combine brown sugar, vinegar, oil, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce in a glass baking dish.
- Put the roast in the baking dish; cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
- Turn the roast and refrigerate for another 24 hours.
- Grill the roast on low for about 1 hour.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding minced garlic or fresh herbs like rosemary to the marinade. If you don't have Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar can be a good substitute. Be sure to let the roast sit at room temperature for about an hour before grilling; this helps it cook more evenly. You can also try this marinade with chicken for a different twist.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the roast beef thinly and serve it with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with creamy mashed potatoes or classic coleslaw. For a heartier option, consider serving it alongside Easy Round Steak Casserole or Cheese, Sausage And Ground Beef Dish for a comforting dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover roast beef in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, slice the beef and warm it gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of beef broth to keep it moist. Alternatively, you can microwave it in short intervals, covered with a damp paper towel to prevent drying out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat for this marinade?
Yes, this marinade works well with chicken or pork. However, the marinating time may vary; chicken typically needs about 6-8 hours, while pork can be marinated for 12-24 hours for optimal flavor.
What if I don't have time to marinate the beef for 48 hours?
If you're short on time, try marinating the roast for at least 1-2 hours at room temperature. While it won't be as flavorful as a longer marinade, it will still benefit from the marinade's ingredients. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
How can I tell when the roast beef is done cooking?
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the roast. For medium-rare, aim for 130-135°F; for medium, 135-145°F. Remember to let the meat rest for about 10-15 minutes after grilling before slicing to ensure the juices redistribute.
