Units
Scale
- 3 lbs boneless top sirloin steak
- 1 tablespoon BBQ rub
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon diced garlic
- 1 tablespoon diced ginger
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Prepare your top sirloin steak by patting the steak dry with a paper towel.
- Make your smoked top sirloin steak marinade. Combine all the marinade ingredients in a medium-sized bowl (ginger, garlic, fresh cilantro, red wine vinegar, olive oil, BBQ rub, lime juice, black pepper, and kosher salt). Place the steak in the marinade and coat it evenly. Cover and place it in the refrigerator.
- Marinate your top sirloin steak in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to one full day before smoking it for the best flavor.
- Preheat your pellet grill to 225°F. Add your wood pellets.
- Place the top sirloin steak in the pellet smoker, right on the grill grates.
- Smoke your sirloin steak until the internal temperature of the steak reaches 135°F for a medium rare steak. This should take around 45 minutes on the pellet smoker. If you prefer your steak at a different temperature, monitor the internal temperature of the meat, and remove it from the grill when it reaches your desired doneness.
- Remove the top sirloin steak from the smoker, cover it with aluminum foil and let it rest for 20 minutes. This will allow the protein to relax and the meat to absorb moisture to ensure you will eat the best steak ever! Serve it with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
