Grilled Top Round Roast RecipeThis recipe makes a tasty Italian style roast beef.INGREDIENTS
1 3 pound top round roast
1 cup red wine
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons oregano
2 teaspoons marjoram
2 teaspoons basil
1 teaspoon sage
Combine the dry ingredients with the wine, and marinate the roast in the mixture for 2 to 3 days. A freezer storage bag is the perfect container for marinating smaller cuts of meat. Turn the meat several times a day to ensure that all sides are equally flavored. When the marinating time is up, give the meat a quick rinse in cold water before grilling. Preheat your grill to medium, about 300 degrees, and set it up for indirect cooking. Cook the top round roast to your desired level of doneness, but not over medium done.
