Instructions
Preparing the Roast
Prep the Meat: Start by taking your sirloin tip roast out of the refrigerator and letting it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps the meat cook more evenly.
Seasoning Magic: In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. This is your flavor-packed seasoning blend.
Rub It In: Drizzle the olive oil over the roast and rub it all over to coat evenly. Then, generously sprinkle the seasoning blend all over the roast, pressing it into the meat to create a flavorful crust.
Preparing the Smoker
Fire Up the Smoker: Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). This low, slow heat is the secret sauce to achieving that smoky tenderness.
Wood Chip Soak: While the smoker is heating up, soak your wood chips in water for at least an hour. This will create that wonderful smoky flavor.
Smoking the Roast
Get Smoky: Once your smoker is at the right temperature, drain the wood chips and scatter them over the charcoal or in the smoker box of your electric smoker.
Roast Placement: Place the seasoned sirloin tip roast directly on the smoker grate. Close the lid and let the magic happen.
Smoke 'Em Good: Maintain a steady temperature of 225°F (107°C) in the smoker. Smoke the roast for about 3-4 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. Use your meat thermometer to check. You want to aim for perfection!
Rest and Serve
Let It Rest: Carefully remove your roast from the smoker once it reaches the desired internal temperature. Don't rush to slice it up just yet! Let it rest on a clean tray or pan for at least 15 minutes. This step is crucial to ensure that the juices redistribute evenly, keeping the meat moist and tender.
Carve and Serve: Finally, carve up that glorious smoked sirloin tip roast into succulent slices. Serve it up with your favorite sides, and watch your guests go wild with delight!
