My First Smoked Top Sirloin Roast

[danigirl021]

Smoked my first sirloin roast. Was a small 3 lb roast which works for my small household. Was about a 2 hour smoke at about 240 on my WSM. Was a pretty windy day so hard to keep the temp a bit lower. Rubbed with oil and then some salt, pepper, garlic, and thyme. Used a couple chunks of hickory. Smoked until about 135. Was the best sirloin roast I have ever made. I have done these in the oven for years but once I started smoking meat, I said no more oven. The flavors were just amazing. Made a nice aus jus gravy and had a few slices and also made sandwiches with a garlic and herb butter. Nom Nom Nom. Wish I had a meat slicer for some thinner slices for lunch sandwiches but I was still happy with what I had.

If anyone else has tried any other flavors they have enjoyed, throw me a suggestion for my second roast.

Nice work!

I have yet to do a sirloin but I've done a standing rib roast (ribeye roast with the bones in).

For a great seasoning try Salt, Pepper, Garlic, Onion, and a light sprinkling of Cayenne powder. Don't be afraid of the cayenne. When I say light sprinkling the idea is that you add enough to get the flavor but not really enough to get the heat. So Cayenne at maybe like 1/4 the amount of any of the other seasonings should be good just be sure to hit it all over.
The flavor should be more of a Texas "steak house" flavor for such a cut of meat.

Also if you want to really kick it into the stratosphere, use some Mesquite wood... you haven't lived until you have had properly smoked beef using 100% Mesquite!!!! Best meat and wood combo out there for Beef, it's otherworldly!! hahaha

I hope this gives you some ideas and excitement for the next beef roast you smoke :)

Yes it does! I was actually thinking about using some cayenne but I am the only one in the house who likes it so I decided not to, but it makes sense to cut it down to just get a little flavor. I actually just picked up a bag of Mesquite wood and plan to use it on my next beef smoke. I might actually go buy another sirloin and try out your recommendation. I will let you know how it turns out!
Thanks for the suggestion.

Try some Cavender's Greek Seasoning on your roasts.
