Food Sirloin Tip Roast on the grill. Nom nom nom nom w/pics.

I made a roast today that I thought I'd share with TFP. Mainly because it was pure awesomeness.

Ingredients:
1 3.5lb sirloin tip roast
2 tablespoons seasoned salt
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
I rubbed the roast and let it sit at room temp for about 4 hours. In the meantime I made a homemade horseradish sauce.
1 part mayo
1 part prepared horseradish
Dash of lemon juice
Add minced garlic, salt, and pepper to taste



After letting all of that marinate for several hours (would love to do it again with the roast sitting in that rub for a couple days!), I fired up the Big Green Egg, purposefully getting the area near the front vent hotter so that I could offset the roast from the hottest part of the grill once it was seared. I got it up to about 600*, then seared the roast for about 2-3 minutes per side.

After that I adjusted the temp down to about 400* and moved the roast over the cooler portion of the cooking surface. It took about 35 minutes (flipped it once) to get it to 120* in the center.

After that I let it rest for about 12-15 minutes, then started slicing it thinly against the grain. Here is a pic of about half of the roast, after I've already sliced the other half up and put most of it on sandwiches. As you can see, it's a nice medium rare in the center, but with good bark on the outside.

This picture turned out poorly, but it's of a sandwich with the beef on it. I took a whole wheat roll, added the horseradish sauce from above, lots of good grilled beef, then topped with thinly sliced white onion, tomato, and lettuce.


It was freaking delicious!! Seriously, it was out of this world.

One of my neighbors who is really cool and friendly (and delivers cherry wood to me for free for use on my smoker) was in his backyard. I told him what I was making and asked him if he wanted to try it. He went crazy over it. My wife loved it. I think it's probably one of the best roast recipes that I've ever done, it was that good.

It was the perfect combination of good beef flavor, and the great grilled bark added a ton of flavor. For the most part I trimmed out the big pieces of fat before putting it on a sandwich, but I always left the edge where the bark was in. *drool* Great stuff, highly recommended, and it was actually pretty easy to do. If you can grill a burger or a chicken thigh, you can do this.

 

Thanks all. It was truly fantastic, and I don't say that lightly.

There are a handful of people who can REALLY impact your quality of life day in and day out. Your neighbors are one of them. I am fortunate enough to have pretty good ones. I figure I'm doing myself a favor to contribute to that continuing, right?

 

LOL!!

I'm a bit too far south and west for that to make sense.

 

I consider myself warned.

 

This was so good that I'm making it again tonight when the SIL and BIL are here.

 

That recipe was incredibly simple. If you decide to get a sirloin tip roast (important to note it is very different from a sirloin roast) and try it, let me know if you have any questions.

 

Yes, they basically connect. You could probably do a tri-tip the same way and it would turn out fine.

 

About 12-14 mins. Keep in mind that is several pounds of meat thin sliced too, which makes it look like a lot of juice.

And I was starving.
