Original recipe yields 10 servings

The ingredient list now reflects the servings specified

⅓ cup Italian salad dressing
¼ cup water
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 (2 1/2 pound) beef tri-tip roast

Directions

Step 1

Whisk Italian dressing, water, soy sauce, honey, liquid smoke, garlic powder, salt, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the roast, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours to overnight.

Step 2

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Remove roast from the bag and discard marinade.
Step 3

Place roast on the grill and reduce heat to medium-low; cook until desired doneness is reached, 35 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Allow roast to rest for 15 minutes under tented aluminum foil before cutting.

Cook's Note:

A 2-pound roast serves 4 comfortably, figure 1/2 pound per person. Cook roast about 20 minutes per pound.

12-15-15 ~ I had a chuck roast that I wanted to try and grill. This was the recipe that I chose. The marinade on this roast is wonderful. The chuck roast marinated all day. When it was time to grill we put the meat in a pan and added the marinade to the pan. It grilled slowly for about an hour. The results were a delicious roast with fantastic flavor. I then boiled the marinade to make sure it was completely cooked. Once cooled, I added the leftover roast slices for another meal. We used part of it another night served over a baked potato. Still having meat and broth left, into the freezer it went to use in a pot of beef and noodles or a stockpot full of beef vegetable soup. Loved the taste of this and so glad I didn't discard the marinade. (5-stars) Read More

The marinade was a huge hit with my family. I cooked the roast on a gas grill. Instructions should include searing on each side at high heat for 2-3 minutes, then dividing remaining time on both sides at medium-low heat. Otherwise roast will be too well done on one side and too rare on the other. Read More
