Featured Recipe of the Month: Smoked Sirloin

Smoked sirloin is the perfect balance of bold, beefy flavor and juicy tenderness. It’s a great choice when you want a steakhouse-quality cut but with the deep, smoky character of barbecue. This method keeps things simple while maximizing flavor. *Plus, we’ve got a special surprise at the end (hint: it involves a free smoker!)

Ingredients for Smoked Sirloin:

• 2-3 sirloin steaks (or a sirloin roast)
• 2 tbsp coarse salt
• 1 tbsp coarse black pepper
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp smoked paprika (optional)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• Wood for smoking (hickory, oak, or mesquite)

 

Instructions:

1. Prep the Sirloin

• Pat the sirloin dry with paper towels.
• Rub the meat with olive oil to help the seasoning stick.
• Mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika (if using), then coat the sirloin evenly.

 

2. Fire Up the Smoker

• Set your smoker to 225°F.
• Use hickory, oak, or mesquite wood for a strong, smoky flavor.
• Place the sirloin directly on the smoker grates.

 

3. Smoke the Sirloin

• Smoke the meat for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches:
  • 120°F for rare
  • 130°F for medium-rare
  • 140°F for medium

 

4. Reverse Sear for the Perfect Crust

• Remove the sirloin from the smoker and let it rest while you heat up a cast iron skillet or grill to high heat.
• Sear the meat for 1-2 minutes per side, basting with butter for extra richness.

 

 

5. Rest and Serve

• Let the smoked sirloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Slice against the grain for the most tender bite.
• Serve with classic BBQ sides like smoked mac and cheese, grilled asparagus, or garlic mashed potatoes.
