Place meat in a plastic bag set in a shallow dish. Close bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 24 hours.
2.
For salsa, in a medium mixing bowl combine black beans, mango, sweet and hot peppers, corn, and cilantro. Stir together lime juice, salad dressing, and remaining salt; add to bean mixture, tossing gently to combine. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours to overnight.

To prepare meat, preheat oven to 425 degree F. Remove meat from bag. Place meat on rack in a shallow roasting pan. Replace any shallot mixture that may have fallen off. Bake, uncovered, for 30 to 45 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 145 degree F (medium rare). Cover meat with foil; let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with salsa. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
