Delicious! However, I let it marinate for about 30 hours. Next time I’ll go a little longer even.

The flavors are fantastic!
We cooked the meat over high heat on a BBQ, about 6-7 minutes on each side. Then let the meat rest for 10 minutes. The center was very pink, but that’s okay. When we re-warm it in a skillet, it will crisp up the meat.
Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
