THE BEST GRILLED SIRLOIN TIP ROAST

The Best Grilled Sirloin Tip Roast image

If you're looking for a flavorful cut of meat that's still pretty lean, give this tri-tip steak recipe a try. I like to cook it slowly over indirect heat, mopping it frequently with red wine sauce. -James Schend, Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin
