Place the roast on a rack in roasting pan. Pour the marinade and 1 cup of water in the bottom of the pan.

Reduce the oven temperature to 475 F Roast for 20 minutes then turn off the oven and let the roast sit in the hot oven for 2 1/2 hours. Do NOT open the door at all during this time!

Remove the roast from the oven. Allow to rest about 20 mins before carving.
