Beef... It's What I made for dinner

So we have had a couple sirloin tip roasts from Costco sitting in our freezer for a little while and its made me want to have roast beef. I was also wanting BBQ (why not in January - it was fairly nice weather here in Lethbridge). So I decided to BBQ one of the roasts (the other got thinly sliced to use in Chinese food another day). It turned out really well!

 

I used a rub of sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika and rosemary. Don't ask me how much of each, as I didn't measure. But go easy on the rosemary, as it has a strong flavour. I let that sit on the roast for a couple of hours as it warmed up to room temperature - everything I had read recommend that. I lightly browned each side on the grill, then using indirect heat (outside two burners on with the inside two burners off, roast over the off burners) and a mix of hickory and apple wood chips for smoke, I let it cook for a little over an hour for 2.25 lb roast. It cooked to between medium rare and medium, and it was nice and tender.  We caught some of the drippings and made a gravy and baked some potatoes in the oven. Jada and Kayla really only ate potatoes with a couple of pieces of meat. They kept asking for more potatoes.

Lessons learned from this:
- One side of my bbq gets a little warmer then the other, so I need to play around with that so it is a little more even.
- I'd cook it closer to 25 min/lb instead of 30.
- I'd definitely do this again!
