I did this a few weeks ago and it came out considerably better than the same
meat w/o vacuum marinading.. In my case I just used my regular old Food Saver..
No need for a tumbler -- I don't think it matters that much if you've got
enough marinade... My wife & sister-in-law were able to notice the difference
and wondered if the meat was marinated overnight -- it was actually marinataed
for about 30 minutes after vacuum sealing.. Works for me..
