Preparation

Step 1

Cut 1/2-inch slits at 1-inch intervals in diagonal rows on top of roast. Insert a garlic sliver into each slit.

Combine salad dressing, wine, and peppercorns in a large heavy-duty, zip-top plastic bag. Reserve 1/2 cup dressing mixture in refrigerator for basting during grilling. Add roast to remaining mixture in bag; seal bag, and chill 8 hours, turning bag occasionally. Remove roast from marinade, discarding marinade.

Preheat grill. Coat a grill rack with cooking spray, and place over medium-high heat (350 to 400 degrees F); place roast on rack. Grill, covered, 35 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part reaches 160 degrees F., turning and basting with reserved 1/2 cup dressing mixture after 20 minutes.

Notes:
This roast tastes just as fabulous cooked in your oven. Just place the roast, fat side up, in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 160 degrees, turning and basting with reserved 1/2 cup dressing mixture after 30 minutes.
