Recipe ideas for sirloin tip roast?

[Compulsive Smoker]

Hi everyone!

I picked up a sirloin tip roast yesterday for $4.99/lb. because it seemed cheap to me…
I cut it up into 6 smaller pieces and vacuum packed them and put em in the freezer.

Now I need some ideas on how to make them! What is the best IT for them to keep them from drying out? Can you make pulled beef from them or not?

Looking forward to hearing from you all…

At 15 plus pounds that's the whole knuckle . I was doing a bunch of those before the price went over 6 bucks here . Great cut of beef .
I break it down into it's individual muscle groups , following the connective tissue lines .
Here's a general tread I did on buying them whole , breakinging down , and how I use it .

Beef knuckle break down and uses .

I do a lot of beef knuckles . Used to be a great value . Not so much now days . Still not bad compared to some other cuts . This comes up from time to time , so last time I broke one down I took some pictures of how I do it . I'll try to keep it short , but still make some sense . Just self...

Thanks Rich! That’s very helpful!

I guess I should have waited to cut it up, but I’ll do that for the next one I buy…

I didn't know the first time either . If you cut across the sinue , roast whole and slice thin .
Post a picture of what you ended up with if you can . Just curious to see what muscle groups are involved .
I also do a beef stock reheat on these that works great for sandwiches or even knife and fork meals .

I have them vacuum sealed and in the freezer, so I can’t get a very good picture…

I cut it straight down from the top the whole way through… lol not very professional!

That's fine . No real wrong way .
I started buying and breaking down beef primals / sub primals during Covid . Around 2019 .
I learned as I went , but used this website to know what comes from where , and how it's normally processed .
This is the whole primal section , then it shows the sub primals , and how the sub primals break out .
Scroll down the page and it shows the Knuckle / Sirloin tip .

Round Primal

Home to lean, inexpensive cuts that come from the rump and hind legs. The muscles in this area are used for movement, so the beef is leaner and less tender. Often sold as roasts, steaks for marinating or Ground Beef.

@chopsaw beat me to it. Don't sweat it. Made many cuts like that and turned out just fine! Main thing on this is to pull low IT as this is a lean cut. I am gonna be running one myself for the first time.

cook the pieces on the rotisserie, slice thin and make italian beef or philly sammies. I like to add green chilies on mine.

Thanks guys! This is why I joined SMF!

Beef is too expensive to mess up!

Uncle brought this to a poker game and is always a hit:

Throw all in crock on high until boiling then low a few hours
3-4lb roast cut into 2" cubes
1 12oz beer
1 small jar pepperoncini (brine too)

Serve on buns. Squirt of horsey if wanted.

Thanks KC! What if you would smoke on low for an hour before going in the crockpot? Would that dry it out too much?

Sounds good! Horsey takes any beef sammy from merely good to amazing!

Throw the whole thing in the smoker in a foil pan and let it ride until it's done.

I was only thinking crockpot because its raining here today haha
