Pork Sirloin Roast

PapaB

I picked up some pork sirloin roasts from Costco.  I couldn't pass them up on the price.  I did 2 a couple of weeks ago at 300-350 dome, and they turned out ok.  They ended up a little tough and was wondering if anyone has done this cut low n slow.  Previous posts have them roasting 325 or 350.  I appreciate any feedback on cooking them.  I've got 2 more that I'm wanting to try at 250 with a little smoke.

What was your internal temp? These should be cooked med rare (yes it's totally safe) if they are going to be tender. Certainy not over medium. Can't make super lean cuts like sirloin tender when they are overdone.

I think 145-150.  Think that's too hi?

It would be for me. I would be like 130-135. Definitely not over 140 if you can't bring yourself to have a little pink in there. Should still be render and juicy around that temp.

I do mine indirect at 350.  Usually marinated.  I pull them at 140, and rest for 5 minutes.  They are so tender and juicy that you could squeeze the juices out of them.

I use a Mavrick, so once the dome is closed it does not open again until done.

If you cook at 250 they will still be juicy all the way up to 170 or higher. Don't ask me how I know that but beer has something to do with it.
