How to Make Prize Winning Marinade For Beef

  1. Using a food processor, crush 1 tablespoon of black peppercorns until finely ground.
  2. Add 4 cloves of garlic to the food processor and crush until a paste forms.
  3. Add 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, and 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice to the food processor. Blend until well combined.
  4. Pour the marinade into a large zip-top freezer bag. Add the beef roast (approximately 3-4 lbs) to the bag.
  5. Seal the bag, pressing out excess air.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 48 hours, turning the bag occasionally to ensure even marination.
  7. Reserve about 1 cup of marinade before cooking the beef. Discard the remaining marinade after removing the meat from the bag.
  8. Prepare your barbecue for indirect cooking. Light only one side of the grill, turning the heat to low. Place a drip pan filled with water on the unlit side of the grill.
  9. Place the beef roast on the unlit side of the grill, over the pan of water.
  10. Cook slowly and indirectly for approximately 195 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, or your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.
  11. While the beef rests, place the reserved marinade in a saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and gently simmer for 5-7 minutes to reduce slightly, if desired.
  12. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream and 2-3 tablespoons of the simmered marinade to create a delicious sauce.
  13. Let the beef rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Drizzle generously with the sour cream sauce. Prepare for compliments!
