(If the roast is too thick to slice easily, cut it in half horizontally before slicing.) 2-Make the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, meat tenderizer, black pepper, red pepper flakes, onion powder, and garlic powder. Whisk until evenly combined and the sugar is dissolved. 3-Add the meat to the marinade and toss until all of the pieces are evenly coated.
