How to Make Smoked Sirloin Tip Roast

1. Prepare Roast - remove roast from fridge and bring to room temperature (around 30 minutes). This ensures even cooking.
2. Season Roast - combine spices for spice rub. Rub Worcestershire Sauce and Apple Cider Vinegar on roast. Generously rub the spice mix all over the meat.
3. Prepare Smoker - place a foil tray filled with water in the base of the smoker for moisture. Light the charcoal in a chimney starter. After charcoal is fully lit and white, place in the offset smoker. Heat smoker between 225°F-250°F (110°C-120°C). Add wood chunks for smoke.
4. Insert Probe - place probe in the center of the sirloin, in the thickest part.
5. Place in Smoker - place beef on a grill in the smoker, fat side up. Close smoker lid. Maintain temperature around 250°F (120°C) for the first 4 hours. Internal temperature of the meat reach around 150°-160°F (65°-70°C).
6. Bbq Spritz - fill spray bottle with Bbq Spritz mixture. Apple Cider Vinegar, Worcestershire Sauce and Crown Royal Whisky. Spray over meat every 30-45 minutes.
7. Wrap in Texas Crutch - tear pink butchers paper 2-3 times the size of the meat. Carefully remove meat from smoker and place near center paper. Spritz one final time. Fold one edge over the meat. Tightly fold in the sides and roll to wrap meat securely. Insert meat thermometer.
8. Return to Smoker - continue to smoke at 225°F-250°F (110°C-120°C) for approx 4 more hours until internal temperature reaches 200°-205°F (93-96°C).
9. Rest - remove Sirloin Tip Roast from smoker and cover with foil. Allow to rest for one hour.
10. Pulled Beef - carefully unwrap smoked sirloin, saving any liquids. Carefully using 2 fork (or your hands), shred the beef. Pour excess liquids over the meat and serve immediately.

Can I Finish Smoked Beef in the Oven?

Yes. Sometimes there are weather issues or other unexpected events. After smoking of a few hours, place in the oven to finish cooking.

Can I Use Foil Instead of Pink Butchers Paper?

Yes. Using foil can speed up the cooking process and traps the moisture in the meat. This results in a softer crust or bark on the meat. Butchers Paper is breathable and has a better outcome in my opinion.

Storage and Reheating

• Fridge - allow meat to cool and place in an airtight container. Keep refrigerated and enjoy within 3 days.
• Freezer - place cooled meat in a Ziploc bag squeezing out excess air. Freeze for up to 3 months.
• Reheating - Defrost frozen meat in the fridge overnight. Place meat in a frying pan with some beef broth. Heat on low until warm. Alternatively place in microwave and heat for 1 minute, with 30 second additional bursts.
