Need help with sirloin tip steak?

Question

I thought I got regular sirloin steak, i was in a hurry. Well I made one pack last night. We broiled it. It was SO TOUGH that we couldnt even eat it. Is there any tips for making this type of sirloin tender? I dont have a grill so all recipes have to be with the stove/oven. I was thinking of cutting it into strips but im not sure.

Answer 1

marinate w/ a inexpensive red wine over night. then in a 400 degree oven cook with sliced onions underneath and cut mushrooms on top [this will help hold in moisture]
