Place the beef in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

2.) Preheat a barbecue grill to med-hot. Meanwhile, remove the steak from the marinade (discard the used marinade)and allow the steak to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

3.) Grill the steak over direct heat, turning 2 or 3 times, for 8 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 145 degree F for medium-rare/160 degree f for medium/165 degree F for well-done. Remove from the grill and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
