First sirloin tip roast...

[KrisUpInSmoke]

Hello SMFers,
I've been reading your posts on STR, planning it out, looking up recipes. Bought one from my local Sam's Club. Put it in the MES at 1:40pm, and thought it'd be ready by 4 or 5. Nice, right?

Then I looked again at the packaging for the exact poundage for the record I'm keeping (which was suggested here at SMF, thank you guys;)) and, lo and behold!... THIS ROAST IS 8.66 POUNDS! It is not the 2 to 3pd roast I was reading about and preparing for during my research! LOL!

Here's the truth... the thing was $2.84 a pound and I confused that with the weight! I've been buying meat for over 20 years now, so...lol... there's no excuse! Guess I was so set on the recipes for 2-3pd roasts I've been looking at online that it overrode my senses.:confused:

So...er... I'm going to feed it peach wood every hour (nice TBN, but I can see why the AMZPS would be nice to have right now... maybe I'll stop feeding it after 4 hours...) and smoke it until it reaches 145 IT...whenever that will be...

Edit: 4:34pm smoker at 250. Roast is reading 139 IT...

Sounds like a cut that would taste good off the grill.

I've got starting pics and hoping to get finished pics, I'm having problems with the camera on my phone, and I still have to figure out how to post pictures here. I can't just share pics directly from my phone to SMF and, since it isn't working right, I haven't looked int how to do it correctly yet. So, although I would really like to post pics, I can't guarantee anything.

I'd like to try to reverse sear it with the one remaining good burner on the gas grill I have.

Reverse searing it on the gas grill really didn't work. It doesn't get hot enough. But, the other burner started working again so I'm happy.

Pics! PICS!

Seasoned up and ready to smoke...

After resting... and my gas grill's best attempt at searing:oops:

First cut...

Little further...

Half way through...

I loved it! Beefy goodness!

Thanks for looking.

Looks juicy and tender to me. Nice job.

Point for sure.

Looks pretty darn good from here.
We like to slice ours real thin on the meat slicer & make roast beef sandwiches.
Sirloin tip is perfect for that!

Looking good! i like mine slightly more rare but i bet that tastes fantastic! Smoking Al is right, that is the perfect cut for thin sliced roast beef sammies!

Happy Smoking,
