- Spray the grill with olive oil cooking spray and preheat the grill to medium high heat.
- Place meat on the grill and discard leftover marinade.
- Cook for 5-6 minutes per side, turning once (this time will vary based on your grill and the thickness of the meat so keep an eye on it).
- Remove the meat to a clean plate and tent with foil. Rest for 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
