1. Wipe the beef and put in a large food bag. Mix together all the remaining ingredients, then pour into the bag. Massage marinade into the beef, then put on a plate in the fridge for at least 2 hrs, or overnight if you have time.
2. Light the barbecue, allowing time for the coals to turn grey. Season the beef with salt and pepper, then cook for 8-10 mins on each side until well browned. Spoon over a little of the marinade as it cooks.
3. Remove the beef from the barbecue and set on a board. Cover tightly with foil and leave to rest for 10 mins. Cut the beef across the grain into slices.

  We barbecued this beef and we made green beans with griddled tomatoes and new potatoes with lemon chive butter. There were 11 of us and even the 3 small kids loved it all. The beef cooked this way is mouth watering. We were on holiday in the Isle of Wight with all the family so it was very special. I shall do it again. 10/10

  We entertained ten French friends with this recipe. It was marvellous. The first time that we catered for our local French friends they were worried as they wrongly believed that the English can't cook. Now they are eager to be invited and, thanks to this recipe, we continue to surprise them. PS. We did the potatoes, beans and tomatoes as well followed by the magical raspberry meringue ice-cream cake--delicious.

  I cooked this as part of the whole supper menu in the August issue and it was wonderful. However, I have a very good butcher that I use and I can imagine the quality of meat is of paramount importance. The flavours in this recipe were great - could really taste the orange and it all barbecued superbly! I would definitely use this recipe again.

  I can't understand what I could have done wrong! Followed the recipe to the letter. Marinated beef over night, and brought the beef from a good farm shop we use for all our meats. But the end result was extremely tough and chewy, and I didn't taste much of the marinade on the end product at all. Very dissapointed - more so as we served it to a number of guests for a bbq.
