We had a few leftover berries so we had those on the side.

1. Prepare grill for direct and indirect cooking.

2. Lightly brush tenderloin with oil. Sprinkle with rub. Place over direct heat on the grill and cook until seared. Repeat on other sides, then remove to indirect heat.

4. Toast slider rolls if desired.

5. To assemble sliders, slather bottom of buns with the blue cheese butter. Add a slice or two of the tenderloin. Add a large dollop of the berry sauce, and the top of the bun.
