🔥 Best Sirloin Tip Roast on the Pellet Grill

Ingredients

• 3–4 lb sirloin tip roast

• 2 Tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 Tbsp kosher salt

• 1 Tbsp coarse black pepper

• 1 Tbsp paprika

• 1 tsp onion powder

• 1 tsp dried thyme

• (Optional) 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard for extra crust

Instructions

1. Prep the Roast

   • Remove roast from fridge 1–2 hours before cooking so it comes to room temp.

   • Pat dry with paper towels.

2. Season Generously

   • Mix olive oil (or butter), garlic, and seasonings into a paste.

   • Rub all over roast (if using Dijon, brush it on first, then season).

3. Set Up the Pellet Grill

   • Preheat to 225°F.

   • Use oak, hickory, or mesquite pellets for a rich smoke, or cherry/apple for a milder sweetness.

4. Smoke the Roast

   • Place roast directly on grill grates, fat-side up.

   • Smoke until internal temp reaches 120°F (about 1.5–2 hours, depending on size).

5. Sear to Finish (Reverse Sear)

   • Crank pellet grill to 450–500°F.

   • Sear 8–10 minutes until internal temp hits:

     • 130°F for medium-rare (best for sirloin tip)

     • 135–140°F for medium

6. Rest & Slice

   • Tent with foil, rest 15–20 minutes.

   • Slice thin, against the grain for maximum tenderness.

🌟 Pro Tips

• A meat probe is your best friend here — sirloin tip is lean, so you don’t want to overcook it.

• Pair with a simple red wine mushroom sauce or horseradish cream.

• Leftovers make incredible roast beef sandwiches.
