Wife has a sirloin tip in the fridge thawing. It's 1 1/2 " + thick & it's got a lot of marble which has me thinking I might get by with grilling it.
If I were to see this much marble in a NY strip or RE I would think it was at least choice if not prime. Would this cut still be pretty tough? Wife wants to crock pot it & it just seems too nice for that.
I figure I could do my usual grill thing to rare & give it a try. If too tough I could always finish it like a pot roast or something. Suggestions?

I would marinate overnight with some acidy mix to help soften, grill, and finish is an oven with a fluid - maybe some marinade cut in wine of fruit juice. I also get good results but grilling and then pressure cooker. That softens up the meat.

Thanks guys. Kinda figured it would need a lot of TLC to keep it from being tough. That is not a grilling cut. I even knew that, but the marble in this piece had me wishful thinking.

Nope. Worst case ya turn it into jerky or stew meat. Give it a whirl and report back!

If you're talking grilling as in open flame, I would say no. My gut sats you would end up with a chewy, overdone doggy chew toy This is what I do all the time with chuck and shoulder roasts. I marinade them overnight in Wish Bone Italian salad dressing, wrap them tightly in foil with a packet of Lipton onion soup mix and cook them for around 3.5 - 4 hours at 325*. Fall apart tender and juicy as hell.
Know fat, know flavor. No fat, no flavor.
I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.

Sous Vide is the only way to go with lower end roast cuts of beef if you want them tender and med rare. I have been buying a lot of Sirloin Tip and Rump Roasts when they are on sale. I fry a mix of onions and mushrooms add all my seasonings to them. Coat the roast in that mix,seal up in a vacuum bag let sit over night. Six to ten hours sous vide at 130 to 135. Remove from the bag finish off on the grill just long enough to get a good char over a hot charcoal fire. Will be a perfect med rare to med depending on the temp you went with. I usually go 135. A touch more than I like but I can tolerate it others in the house will not eat anymore rare than that. I slice it nice and thin. But you can seriously cut half inch slices that you can cut with your fork it is so tender.

Grill a Roast? Maybe you could roast some steaks. To me a nice roast is perfectly wonderful roasted. The old fashioned way. Gives horsh radish a purpose.

There are some tricks though. Like when I was poor and in school the grocery would have a sale on beef chuck steak. I'd look for what's called a seven bone steak. It's the tenderest of chuck steaks and if of quality beef is grillable. Not top quality beef and it can get chewey. But there's always MSG and a tenderizer hammer.

As long as it is not over cooked, it should be great.

Once questioned one for hours while shining a desk lamp in its face, but never got a confession out of it.

Should have tenderized it with a rubber hose or a phone book.

Using the "snake" method with briquettes would work fine.
