Transfer to shallow roasting pan large enough for meat to lie flat. Mix yogurt,onion, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, cumin and peppercorns with salt to taste in medium bowl. Rub marinade over both sides of meat. Cover and set aside at room temperature 4 hours or refrigerate overnight (let stand at room temperature 2 hours before cooking).
Preheat broiler. Brush rack set in broiler pan with oil. Arrange meat on rack, and broil 2 inches from heat source to desired doneness, about 8 min each side for med-rare (10 mins for medium and 12 minutes for well done), brushing frequently with clarified butter or oil. Let rest on carving board 5 minutes. Cut meat across grain into thin slices and serve. Serve Creamy Mint Dressing and Pineapple Chutney separately.
