   Place meat in a Ziploc bag	Place meat in Food Saver Marinade container
   Squeeze out air	Process through 1 Food Saver marinade cycle
   Marinate overnight

4. Preheat BBQ / Gas Grill for 3 – 5 minutes, scrape grill clean with grill brush, adjust the temperature to medium – high (400 - 450°F).
5. Brush the grill with canola oil to prevent sticking
6. Grill on all four sides, about 3-5 minutes per side until nicely browned, basting with marinade every time flipped (except the last time). For maximum flavor and tenderness cook to an internal temperature of 145 - 150°F.  Remove tenderloin from BBQ and loosely tent for 5-10 minutes, this will allow for the internal temperature to rise to 160°F.
