   refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Remove meat from refrigerator
   30 minutes before grilling. Prepare grill. Remove meat from
   marinade. Grill beef over medium coals, basting occasionally, 7
   to 8 minutes per side for medium-rare, pork 12 to 15 minutes,
   until meat thermometer inserted in thickest part reaches 160
   degrees. Let stand 5 minutes. Slice thin across the grain. Serve

   for a few seconds, helps reduce their rawness. Your guests will
   never guess the ingredients in the marinade---it tastes sweeter
   than you might expect.
