Friday Smoke - Sirloin Tip Roast Q-View

[smoking gun]

Well I obtained a 10 lb sirloin tip roast for the weekend smoke. Smeared it with SG rub putty then coated with Jeff's rub. Into the fridge for the night and awaiting tomorrow's smoke.....

Coated, rubbed and ready...




Stay tuned I think this is gonna be good. At least I hope so... :)

Now that's a big sirloin roast! Looks great all rubbed down, can't wait to see more pics.

I've done a sirloin tip roast a couple times and wasn't that pleased with the results. If yours turns out looking as dandy as I think it will, I may be asking for some tips!

Looks like its gonna ge delicious! What is rub putty?

 

[smoking gun]

Rub putty is a sticky concoction that holds the rub on the meat. If it works out well I'll share the ingredients. I've used it before but not in this type application.

Ok after about an hour rain delay i got this party started. Layed in some mesquite and hickory on the RO lump and let er smoke for about 2 hrs. At that point the wife and kids were getting hungry so i threw some burgers on next to the tip to get some flavor. In the mean time I fired up R2D2 and seasoned him up. Once it reached temp and held there for about 30 minutes I threw the burgers in there to finish. Im at about 3hrs 45 minutes and 110 internal temp. Moving right along at pit temp of 225. lookin pretty good.

Smoker purring along at 225. :)

Well....... After starting this about 7 pm last night it finally hit 200 about 1:30 pm today. I was patient with it though and let it take it's own sweet time. after slicing a little off last night I was worried it was going to be a dryer tougher finished product than I had hoped for. Boy was I ever wrong. When I opened it up it looked good, Kinda like my butts do when i smoke them but there didn't seem to be much juice in the foil. I got a meat fork (large one) and was going to spear it on one side and use a spatula to lift it out. The fork nearly went all the way through and there was no way that was going to work. It was so tender I had to get 2 huge serving spoons, work one underneath and the other to steady it and lifted it out into the fresh foil. I sat it in the foil and the top just kinda separated and cracked open. I lifted the old foil out to pour the juice in a container and found a LOT more juice in the next layer of foil. I used a turkey baster and basted the roast then put the rest in the container. I'm letting it rest a bit and cool before I pull it. Unfortunately (hehe) when I removed the roast from the foil the first time a large piece of meat fell off and into the pan. i disposed of this properly and I have to say it's even better than the briskets I've done. I'll get some final pics after I pull it but here's a couple i just took.....

Unwrapped at 200.



Into the new foil and falling apart....



I'll definitely be doing this again!!!!!!

Oh ya I'll post the rub putty when i do the final.
