• 1 eye of round beef roast (about 3½ pounds)
• 1 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
• ½ cup fresh lemon juice
• ½ cup barbecue sauce
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 to 2 tablespoons coarse ground black pepper (divided)

To butterfly roast, make lengthwise cut through center of meat to within ½ inch of opposite side (do not cut all the way through). Open roast to lay flat. Place roast in large reclosable plastic bag.

 

In 4-cup measure, combine soy sauce, lemon juice, barbecue sauce, and garlic. Pour ½ cup marinade over roast; seal bag and turn to coat meat. Place bag on plate and marinate in refrigerator several hours or overnight. Cover remaining marinade and chill until ready to grill meat.

 

Remove ¼ cup of the reserved marinade to baste beef.

 

Place remaining reserved marinade in small saucepan, bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until sauce is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.

 

Remove roast from bag; discard marinade in bag. Sprinkle half the pepper over top of roast.

 

Place roast pepper-side down on oiled grid over medium heat; cover and grill until seared, about 15 minutes.

 

Turn roast over, brush 1 tablespoon of the ¼ cup reserved marinade over top and season with remaining pepper; cover and grill basting occasionally with sauce until internal temperature is 150°F., about 30 to 40 minutes.

 

Place roast on cutting board. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting lengthwise into 2 pieces, then thinly slice. Serve with thickened sauce.
