Seal bag or cover dish and refrigerate at least 8 hours but no longer than 24 hours, turning beef several times to coat. 2. Remove beef from marinade; discard marinade. Place beef on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in center of thickest part of beef. 3.

Cover beef loosely with tent of aluminum foil and let stand 15 to 20 minutes or until thermometer reads 145 degrees. (Temperature will continue to rise about 5 degrees and beef will be easier to carve as juices set up. 4. Cut beef across grain at slanted angle into thin slices.
