Ingredients
  • 1 whole sirloin (6.6 - 11 lbs)
  • 0.7 oz maldon salt, or normal salt
  • 1.4 oz coarse black pepper
  • 1.7 oz brown sugar
  • 250ml honey
  • 100ml whole grain mustard
  • 1.7 oz rosemary
  • 100ml truffle oil
FOR THE SMOKE
  • 5.3 oz oak chips, about 4 handfuls
  • 20 bay leaves
  • 0.7 oz cumin seeds
  • 0.35 oz smoked paprika
  • 1 oz rooibos
  • 0.35 oz ground nut meg
  • 20ml truffle oil
  • 6.6 lbs briquettes
Instructions
  • Marinade the Sirloin with dry ingredients as well as the Truffle Oil. The longer, the better.
  • Start up the fire in the offset smoker. Once the coals are white and glowing, add the smoke mix. Don’t use more than 66 lbs of briquettes.
  • In the offset-smoker, sear the Sirloin fat-side down for approximately 3 minutes on each side at high heat.
  • Once done, put the Sirloin into the main smoker and smoke for 3.5 - 4 hours, depending on how smokey you want it. (See Tip01)
  • Once the wait is over, the best serve with this smokey dish is corn bread and BBQ sauce topped with some wild rocket.

Pro Chef Tip: 230°F as the perfect smoking temperature – low and slow. Check every 30 minutes, bearing in mind that every time you open the grill, you lose heat. So be quick.
