Peppered Rib-Eye Roast

• 1/2 cup cracked pepper or coarsely ground pepper
• 1 (5- to 6-pound) boneless rib-eye roast, trimmed
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 3/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon cold water
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

1. Lightly press pepper on top and sides of roast. Place roast in a heavy-duty, zip-top plastic bag or large shallow dish. Combine soy sauce and next 4 ingredients; pour over roast. Seal or cover, and marinate in refrigerator 8 hours, turning occasionally.
2. Remove roast from marinade, discarding marinade. Place roast, fat side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan; insert meat thermometer into thickest part of roast, making sure it does not touch fat.
3. Bake, uncovered, at 425u0b0 for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325u0b0; bake 2 hours and 10 minutes or until thermometer registers 145u0b0 (medium-rare) or 160u0b0 (medium).
4. Remove roast to a serving platter; cover and keep warm. Add enough water (about 3/4 cup) to pan drippings to make 1 1/2 cups; return to pan. Combine cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water, stirring until smooth. Stir cornstarch mixture and salt into pan drippings. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and slightly thickened. Serve roast with gravy.
