Ginger Soy Beef

I’m going to be honest, Bottom Round is not my preferred cut of beef.  But when it was on sale at whole paychecks I decided that I would give it a try.  In the winter I would slow cook it with some root vegetables (like pot roast) but in the summer slow cooked meat in the oven is not happening. 

Bottom round is tough so I had two options.  Slow cook on the BBQ on a Saturday or marinade the heck out of it to tenderize it.  I chose to go the marinade route.

For 24 hours I marinaded the roast then grilled it to Medium (FYI anything above medium will be tough).  I have to say it was quite tasty.  Not fillet mignon good, but middle of the week, grilled beef good.
