I don't think you have anything to worry about, so long as you don't
marinate much more than 4 to 6 hours prior to grilling. The combo of orange
juice and chipotle is a good one for grilled meats. Beware, though, of
using fresh pineapple or papaya in marinades as these contain an enzyme that
will break down the meat. A friend of ours actually did marinate some
chicken in fresh pineapple juice before trying to grill it. Somehow, the
meat didn't fall through the grates, but the meat was scarcely palatable.

Subject: [blindcooks] Grilled Sirloin Tips
last night I bought a sirloin tip roast (it was actually cheaper than buying steaks) and today I half froze it and cut it into steak shapes.
I was contemplating making a marinade out of orange juice, oil, garlic, chipotles in adobo sauce and a little brown sugar.
My worry is that a marinade like that will make the steak tips a little mushy. Any thoughts?
