2 tablespoons (shaken)
Orange Juice
1/2 cup (freshly squeezed)
Teriyaki Sauce
1/2 cup (bottle or homemade)
Brown Sugar
1/4 cup (packed)
Garlic Cloves
3 (minced)
Orange Zest
1 teaspoon (freshly grated)

Instructions
1
Begin by preparing your materials: Shake the flour inside the Reynolds Oven Bag and place it in a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
2
In a mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, teriyaki sauce, packed brown sugar, minced garlic, orange zest, and crushed red pepper flakes. Whisk together until well-mixed.
3
Pour this sauce mix into the oven bag, and gently squeeze to incorporate the flour, ensuring it thickens the sauce.
4
Add the beef top round roast to the bag, sealing it tightly, and turn the bag to evenly coat the beef with the marinade.
5
Refrigerate the marinating beef for 1 1/2 to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
6
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). After the marination period, carefully cut six 1/2-inch slits in the top of the oven bag to allow steam to escape.
7
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Take care not to overcook the beef to maintain its tenderness.
8
Once cooked, remove the roast from the oven, and allow it to rest for a few minutes before thinly slicing.
9
Stir the sauce inside the bag before serving, and if desired, serve the roast with hot cooked rice, garnished with sliced green onions.
