Nearly any cut of meat can be as tenter as ye like depending on prep,cooking
method, and additions to it a couple hints for making a cheap cut taste great:

cut the meat cross grain
<snip>
	most marinades will tenderize the meat. 
	vinegar, onion juice, and other components all help break it down.
stew the meat
	a slow stew will make a cheap cut wonderful, but you said you
	were grilling so this isn't an option.
<snip>

marinades with fruit in them are very good for tenderizing.  sugar and fruit
acid I believe.  for instance (it is not period but...) kiwi is supposed to
have amazing meat tenderizing potential.  Though flavor wise, I'd go with
something else.
