Grape juice provides sweetness without alcohol.

Start with the marinade by combining 1/2 cup soy sauce and 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce in a bowl.

Add 2 cups of leftover red wine and 1 cup of red wine vinegar to the marinade.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of garlic powder and 1 tablespoon of onion powder, mixing well to remove lumps.

Trim the tri tip roast to 1/8 inch, leaving some fat for flavor and moisture.

Generously sprinkle papaya enzyme tenderizer over the meat, using a tenderizing tool to poke holes into the meat.

Place the tri tip roast into the marinade, ensuring it's fully covered.

Let the roast marinate for 1 hour to 24 hours for best results.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Remove the tri tip from the marinade and pat it dry to avoid boiling in the oven.

Place the roast fat side up in a baking pan and roast in the oven for 20 minutes.

Check the roast after 20 minutes; if not browned, leave it in for an additional 10 minutes.

Reduce the oven temperature to 200°F (93°C) and return the roast to the oven to cook slowly for 30 minutes per pound.

After 1 hour, check the roast; it should be juicy and cooked to desired doneness.

Slice the roast against the grain and serve.
