What’s on the grill/smoker today? 2021

Sirloin is typically an overlooked cut of meat. Costco has Prime top sirloin and every so often I get a craving for it. Not as tender as other cuts, but I love it for the flavor, and the low-fat content when I'm wanting such a thing.

What about Costco hamburger? I mean decent price for the amount I guess, but something about it screams fake to me. My parents bought some Thursday and I made hamburgers for them but it really just looked/felt fake.

I made some last night for my wife with Michigan sourced stuff from Meijer and it felt/looked way different?

Dunno! I mean, I get the Costco grass fed hamburger, and no issues on my end. That's usually ground chuck though.

Sirloin doesn't end up as ground beef in my experience. Makes a cheaper/different cut of steak off the grill though. Doesn't have the fat content of a ribeye, or the tenderness of a filet. I just appreciate the cut for its mineral, and iron content flavor profile.

The photo with it on a towel is it going into a cooler when it hit 203*. I put foil and a towel in the bottom of a cooler, foil on top of the meat and another folded towel. Leave it in there for an hour or two, to let the collagens continue to break down. Was pretty tasty pulled pork! 😎

I misplaced my meat hooks for the barrel cooker :mad: I just ordered a couple sets, so naturally they’ll turn up now.

Anyway, did these on the Weber Genesis II which is fine because I wanted to show my brother how they turn out, he doesn’t have a smoker. Used smoker box with hickory on left side, indirect heat, then sauced them. I’m cooking on the sauce now over low heat all burners, then they went into the oven in a foil topped disposable baking pan.

I know, the purists will scream, but frankly, they were pretty darn good. Not as good as on the Pit Barrel Cooker, to be sure, but very good. If you have a grill and no smoker, don’t be afraid to tackle ribs on it!
