Apple Smoked Top Sirloin Petite Boneless Roast

If the rising prices of traditional cuts of Beef are preventing you from enjoying some red meat then check around your local grocery store and/or Butcher and pick up some of those tougher or lesser known cuts.  Using a low-and-slow cooking method will make any cut of Beef delectable!  Following my own advice, I picked up a 2½ lb Top Sirloin Petite Boneless Roast at my local Savemart grocery store for $5 a pound.  Rubbed the roast with Annie’s Roasted Garlic EVOO and Smokin’ Pete’s Roast Rub Seasoning.  Wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for 4 hours.

Preheated my new Traeger PTG wood pellet grill to 250ºF using Pacific Pellet Apple BBQ wood pellets.  Smoked the Top Sirloin Roast for an hour.

After an hour I raised the PTG temperature to 325ºF until the internal temperature of the roast reached 142ºF.

Rested the Apple Smoked Top Sirloin Petite Boneless Roast under a foil tent for 20 minutes prior to serving.  Running a series of test with with Traeger PTG to see if it will meet my needs when cooking for two at home and on the road when RVing.  To date I have experienced issues with the lower temperatures but it appears to be functioning as advertised when the temperature is set to 300ºF and above.  Time will tell.
