Hi All!

New Lg BGE coming tomorrow from Waldorf (Thanks to my friend for picking it up!) with platesetter, stone, CI grate, lifter, yadda, yadda. Got the SS grate from ACGP, too. I am READY.

I am a 20+ year gasser and understand grilling/outdoor cooking - have Thermapen, ET-7, etc. In anticipation of receipt of the Lg BGE, I bought a 9.92 Lb. Whole Sirloin Tips Beef Round. $1.78 per pound and looked righteous.

What would you experienced BGE Chefs do with a 9.92 Lb Whole Sirloin Tips Beef Round? It is good in the cryo until May 12, so I'd appreciate any suggestions you may have!

    here you go::::

    Beef, Steak, Sirloin, Lawn Ranger

    For anyone looking for a real, sure-fire cook, I'd add this to my list. I never did a follow-up on this cook. It is one the easiest and consistent cooks I have ever done. This was a suggested recipe from Steve Graves aka, Ask-A-Butcher. It's a 3+inch cut of Prime, Top Sirloin that was rubbed 24 hours in advance with a little oil and a heavy coating of QBabes Coffee Rub. The flavors of the rub really melt into the meat during that time. The steak is then tightly wrapped with butcher's twine and sucked up until it is closer to 4 inches thick.

    1 Getting Ready!
    2 It's seared at hight temps for two minutes per side then removed to set up for an indirect, raised cook.
    3 The Egg is then stabilized at 350 with plate setter and drip pan and the steak is finished at this temp to approx. 128 - 130 internal. Remove from Egg, foil tent for a few minutes and then slice against the grain. It' is fantastic, and really an impressive meal for not big bucks. Serve with Max's pancetta, mushroom mixture and it's restaurant quality fare.

    Prep meat with mustard and rub. I'd cook indirect (lite smoke,hickory or cherry)at 275F until center reads 130F. Pull,foil and let rest in cooler or oven. Slice thin for roast beast sandwiches. Have horse radish, and pepper relish on hand. Au jus too!

    Thanks and sounds good!


    Sounds like I need to slice it into two pieces since it is about 9" x 7"or so for a 350 degree cook...

    Very easy cook and a good one for a first cook on a new or almost new egg. Diana Q makes sirloin tip roasts on the egg quite often. She rubs with steak seasoning and lets the meat sit on the counter while she fires up the egg. (full load of lump and letting the egg fully heat up to where it is stable at 325 dome) Setup is simply the roast sitting in a rack over a drip pan. This setup goes on the grid, no plate setter needed. She roasts at 325 dome until the meat is 135 internal. Use a meat temp probe. Just before the meat goes on she will throw a couple small chunks of hickory on the fire for smoking. The cook is around 2+ hours long for a large roast. Really nice slicing meat for sandwiches down the road. This pic is of a rump roast but you get an idea of the final product outcome......good eats. :cheer:

    Well, the first cook was a breeze!

    I froze the 9.92 pounder and bought another one, 10.5 lbs. I rubbed it down with a bit of Gulden's mustard, worcester sauce, lotsa fresh ground pepper, and a dusting of Meat Magic. I let it warm on the counter for an hour or so.

    Loaded the BGE with Royal Oak lump to the top of the fire box and used my MAPP torch to light the center. In 25 minutes I had it dialed in at a precise 275 dome. Tossed in two hickory chunks and set up for indirect.

    After 4 hours I pulled it at 137 internal. It was beautiful! I think I'll do the next one to 150 - not all the fam likes beef as rare as I do.

    Thanks to all for the advice and making my first cook a raging success! I am doing a pork loin today :)
