Prize Winning Marinade for Beef

Recipe #67491 | 3¼ hours | 15 min prep | add private note

By: elizabeth craig
Jul 25, 2003

I combined my sister-in-law's marinade recipe with my friend's barbecue cooking method. I then submitted this recipe into to a radio station as part of a contest and I ended up winning the grand prize of a Jenairre stove! It's so versatile that it works both with cheap cuts of beef and expensive too. I won't cook beef roast any other way. Enjoy!

SERVES 4 -10 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Using a food processor, crush peppercorns until fine.
  2. 2
    Add garlic to processor and crush.
  3. 3
    Add soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice and blend.
  4. 4
    Pour mixture into giant zip lock freezer bag and add the meat to be marinated (even the cheapest cuts of beef will taste like prime rib!).
  5. 5
    Seal bag.
  6. 6
    Refrigerate for 48 hours (turn bag every time you open the fridge door).
  7. 7
    Reserve the marinade for later use.
  8. 8
    Barbecue the meat as you would normally however, I prefer to cook the meat very VERY slowly using an indirect cooking method--only ONE side of the barbecue is lit and turned down to low.
  9. 9
    The meat is placed on the one side of the barbecue which is off, over a pan of water, which sits on the barbecue rocks.
  10. 10
    Note: Total barbecue time depends on the size of beef roast.
  11. 11
    Relax while your dinner cooks.
  12. 12
    Put marinade on the stove and bring to a boil.
  13. 13
    Add just enough marinade to some sour cream, to make a sauce to drizzle over the cooked meat.
  14. 14
    Sit back and enjoy the compliments.

I love cooking over indirect heat on the grill. It makes the meat so tender and delicious! This marinade is a show stopper! We REALLY loved it!!! This will be my new marinade and I will share with my friends this way of cooking beef on the grill! Thank you!

    Wonderful! I used a sirloin tip roast and followed the directions exactly (although I didn't really count out 40 peppercorns, just eyeballed and am sure I used more . My grill has 3 burners, so I turned off the middle one and grilled the meat indirectly between the two outside burners. Adding the marinade to sour cream to create a simple sauce was a great idea. I think incorporating a bit of horseradish would add a nice touch. I did boil the marinade about 10 minutes before using, which I know is overkill, but, although I enjoy eating beef pretty rare, I'll confess I am a bit paranoid about using the marinade. Anyway, great job--thanks for sharing your recipe with us!

    Used on large sirloins; excellent. This is also a good formula for fajitas; just used lime instead of the lemon.
