• Pour diced onion onto the bottom of a large roasting pan.
• Remove the bag from the fridge and transfer the meat to the roasting pan (over the onions), and pour the marinade over the meat. Note: the marinade should roughly cover the bottom half of the meat.

• Place the slices back in the roasting pan, slightly tiled, and spoon sauce over the slices.
• Place the roasting pan back in the oven and roast for an additional thirty minutes, uncovered. Note: open the oven every ten minutes and use a spoon to quickly pour more of the sauce (from the pan) over the meat to keep it moist.
