Steps:

MARINADE: Whisk first 10 ingredients in medium bowl. Using small sharp knife, pierce meat all over. Place meat in large ziplock bag and add marinade. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight, turning plastic bag occasionally. PREPARE ROAST: Prepare barbecue (med-high heat). Grill meat to desired doneness, about 10 min per side for med-rare. Transfer to cutting board. Tent with foil, let stand 10 min. Cut diagonally across grain. Consider removing meat from refrigerate prior to grilling to allow meat to come up to room temperature. This will help meat cook more evenly throughout roast.
