Piedmontese Sirloin roast from a friend!!

[SmokinAl]

After seeing the thread that Robert tx smoker did with a sirloin roast. I had to check out the goodie bag he sent me, & sure enough there was a nice sirloin roast in there.

As I have been doing with all the beef I have smoked lately I made a marinade up with the following ingredients. I don’t have any measurements because I just go by the size of the meat & the flavor that we like.

I also jaccard the roast & put it in the marinade in a vacuum cannister.

When I put the meat in the marinade it was pretty tough feeling, so my thinking was that I would smoke it a couple of hours, then finish it in the SV to get it nice & tender. To my surprise it came out of the marinade very tender & quite flexible. So back to the original plan which is to follow the way Robert did his.

Judy took the leftover marinade, strained it, de-fatted it & added some red wine & reduced it down for an Au Jus.

I rinsed off the marinade & coated the roast with this Canadian steak seasoning. BTW, if any of you can get this stuff I’ll pay dearly for a couple of jars.

Into the smoker running at 245.

After about 1 hour the color was good & the bark was set, so I dropped it down to 180 extreme smoke setting.

In the meantime Judy is making us some sourdough baguettes.

She also found a pack of pepper bacon in the goodie bag, so it’s BLT’s for lunch.

My gosh this is some killer bacon!!

Lunchtime BLT with Robert’s bacon & Judy’s bread, doesn’t get much better than that!

It hit 120 IT about 5 hours into the cook, so I took it out for a short rest Under a foil tent. I also poured a little of the Au Jus on top.

Ready to slice.

Check out the smoke ring!

And now for dinner.

Ok guys and Gals, it’s not over yet!

FF to this morning, put the roast in the freezer for a half hour then shaved it.

Remember the sour dough baguette, well here it is again for a French dip Sammie.

Ok were finally done, sorry it was so long.
I have to say that the beef was so good that it didn’t need to be dipped in anything.
I only ate one bite with the Jus, and the rest plain.
I just can’t get over just how beefy the flavor of this meat is.
Thanks for looking folks & thanks again Robert!

NAILED IT!! Absolutely gorgeous Al. I may have been selfish asking you to try cooking that roast the way I've done several recently but you hit every mark I was hoping to see you hit. Even with that amazing smoke ring, you still got the perfect edge to edge pink that was my hope you'd get. Honestly, it just does not get any better than that. Now to those BLT's....oh man!! As much of that bacon as I've made and cooked, I've never had it come out looking that good. Add Judy's homemade bread and you have perfected the BLT sir. Y'all be eatin' good in the neighborhood, that's for sure. Looks like you might have roast beef for another couple sandwiches too

Thanks Al but surely you could have done it without me. I'm just your scapegoat....the whipping boy. If it had come out wrong you'd have somebody to blame it on Seriously, it was a blast going through this with you and I'm thrilled it came out as well as it did.
