4. After the 30 minutes, pour the marinade over the roast in the bowl; rub in with hands to coat well.
5. Place the roast in a large heavy-duty ziploc freezer bag.
6. Pour the marinade from the bowl over the roast and close and seal bag.
7. Turn the bag several times to coat.
8. Place into a large bowl and refrigerate overnight (turning several times during refrigeration time).
