Scored a great deal on this 10lb whole sirloin , $2.99 per pound...Any ideas on how to cook it...I was thinking about indirect at 250 until about 125...Then slice and sear until done as everybody wants....Let me know what you think.

    Just curious about the meat you are asking about.  I'm always looking for new cuts to try. Was it labeled anything other than 'Sirloin' - like 'Top Sirloin', 'Sirloin Tip', etc?  I'm always checking out new markets for what cuts they carry.

    Do you mean USDA Choice Top SIrloin?  If so, my BJs carries them from time to time. Since 10 pounds is too big for us, I generally cut it in half and tie it so it has a better 'roast shape'. Then I cook at about 250 grid and reverse sear to finish.  Tastes good.  Not as good as a roast made from a NY Strip section, but it is a lot cheaper.  I think the last one I bought at BJs was around $3.50 per pound.

    I buy whole top sirloins from Costco. After trimming them up and removing any silver skin,I cut off a piece from the small end to square up the whole piece. Then cut 3 or 4 roasts that are about 3" thick. Cut in the direction so it resembles a very thick top sirloin steak. Cut up any remaining scrapes for stroggie or fajita meat. I cook these like I do tri-tips, raised direct about 350 until 110-115, then reverse and rest to finish about 130. In the Santa Maria area besides tri-tip these are used for Santa Maria style bbq and they call them top blocks.
