This marinade made an excellent roast. I had a 5 lb sirloin tip roast that I marinated for just over 24 hours, then cooked to medium in a slow oven. The meat was very tender and tasty. I used all of the leftover marinade, thickened with a bit of corn starch with the sour cream and it made a very tasty gravy for the meat and the potatoes. Very nice.

This was a simple and delicious marinade. I used it on some venison steaks that were given to us and it worked beautifully. I did leave the steaks to marinate the full 48 hours and was not sorry that I did. Cooked them on the barbeque with some wood chips and it was wonderful. Thank you Elizabeth for sharing the recipe.

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!

This worked great for us. I didn't use the sour cream though but I might next time. I only marinated for about 30 minutes and then slow cooked it in the oven. The flavor really came through nicely. But, next time I would rather marinate for the full amount of time and then slow cook it in the crock pot. Thanks!
