Method

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.

  2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook shallot until transparent.

  3. Add mushrooms to the skillet and cook, covered, until darkened for about 5 minutes.

  4. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set them aside.

  5. Deglaze the skillet with 1 can of beef broth and Burgundy. Increase the heat and bring it to a boil. Let the mixture boil until it is reduced by 1/3.

  6. Grill the sirloin tips on the preheated grill until they reach your desired doneness. Optionally, season them with salt and pepper. Transfer the tips to a plate and set them aside.
