Sirloin Tip Roast ... And Apple Pie

[Paul Case Luca]

Well, followed DivotMaker's recommendation to a tee and it was great! 200F until IT 128' foil and rest for 30m then reverse sear at 500F (my oven was giving it all she's got). I just need to remind myself to cut the rubs down for my young kids.

Then while we were eating and cleaning up, taking a breather, and having coffee (and other such beverages) we had an apple pie awaiting. Followed Jeff Phillips recipe to a tee... Simple but oh my goodness this was the best ever.

Photos below ... Because if no photos then it didn't happen!

Oh, my!  That looks INCREDIBLE, Steve!  I just salivated, and I just had supper!  Great job!  Was the sirloin tender enough?

Sirloin was great for my wife and I.  Actually pulled at 124F at her insistence  because she loves rare with warm center and I do as well (really anything from warm center rare to medium I can eat ... Even well done I am a barbarian ... See food I eat it).

My 6 year old wanted only certain pieces and that's to be understood. If we do this for a large party we will take it to 128F to please the masses ... And maybe have another one hanging out a little lower.

Is still cannot get over the pie ... Apple wood chips actually because you want s much smoke as possible for a short time of 2 hours at 275F so I had to use the missile swith arm button to bypass and run to 275. 

In short: yes, it was tender and to our perfect choice. If go to 128F IT would make 98% of the crowd happy.

That's great!  I may have to do a sirloin tip on one of my electronic #2 test runs! ;D

What is this pie recipe?  You have my wife's curiosity peeked. 

 

[Paul Case Luca]

Let me dig it up... I am on the road again.

That said, I am convinced any apple pie recipe would work well.

I may next try an apple crisp because then one wouldn't be so worried about appearance and texture and all that.

I was astonished at how easy, and how well the pie turned out Walt.

Give me a few days....

 

[Walt]

Absolutely, take your time.  I saw a recipe for bacon apple pie.  Might be interesting.

 

[DivotMaker]

Was that a Jeff Philips thing, Steve?  Seems I remember something about a smoked apple pie there.

 

[Paul Case Luca]

Right indeed. Considering it's published I will PM you (Walt) what it was/ is.
