That's exactly what I did. Put the sirloin steak in a gallon jar, slopped the
Smoked Pasilla salsa on top of it, then pulled a vacuum on the jar. The tilia
has a device to seal jars temporarily, ie as long as you want, and that's what I
used. The vacuum opens the pores of the meat and allows the marinade to get
inside. Put it in the fridge for a couple of hours and it's like marinating for
12 hours.
