Easy Roast or London Broil Marinade

1 cup of marsalla cooking wine (found in the salad dressing section)
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon minced garlic (the kind in a jar that needs to be refrigerated after opening)
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon pepper

I use this as a marinade to cook london broil, roasts or steaks. I usually will cook a roast or london broil in a slow cooker on low for 10 to 12 hours, or grill steaks until done - on average 7 to 10 minutes each side, depending on size.
