BBQ Sirloin

BBQ, but this time a bit different! If you purchase the whole sirloin or sirloin tip, it’s often a lot cheaper than individual steaks, and tastes great when cooked whole on the BBQ.

This BBQ sirloin recipe is zingy, fresh and tasty! I love how my Zesty BBQ Sirloin makes for a fantastic lunch or dinner for the family, and guests, plus provides delicous leftover lunches for the week! And the Fresh Mexi Salsa is the perfect pairing. A great way to use a whole Sirloin cut from Sherwood Rd Organic Meats. If you like this recipe then you could also try my Roast Beef rump cap with Roast Capsicum Tapenade & Village Salad or my Asian-Style Pulled Pork or my Beef Ragu!

BBQ Sirloin

Serves 6-8

Time – about 1 hours

Ingredients:

For the BBQ Sirloin:
  • 2kg whole sirloin
  • zest of 2 limes
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 T ground cumin
  • 1 T ground coriander
  • 1 t smoked paprika
  • 1 t oregano
  • pinch cayenne pepper (to your liking)
For the Fresh Mexi Salsa
  • 2 cobs of corn, cooked with kernels cut off
  • 1 red capsicum, diced
  • 1 yellow capsicums, diced
  • 1 punnet cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 large, or 2 small avocados, diced

Method:

  1. Pat the sirloin dry with a paper towel.
  2. Using a sharp knife, shave off some of the hard external fat layer if desired, then cut 8-10 diagonal deep slashes through the fat.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil.
  4. Mix the spices, lemon zest and salt together in a small bowl. Distribute over the sirloin, both sides, getting it into the cracks.
  5. Cover and set aside to come up to room temperature. 
  6. Preheat your BBQ to medium-high heat.
  7. Place the sirloin on the BBQ fat side down to render the fat, then flip, cover and cook until it has reached your desired level (see notes).
  8. Set aside to rest for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  9. For the Mexi Salsa, combine all ingredients in a bowl and toss to combine.
  10. Serve with the BBQ Sirloin.

  • For rare: Cook for 10-15 minutes or until very soft to the touch with an internal temperature of 49°C to 55°C. 
  • For medium rare: Cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender, springy and soft with an internal temperature of 55°C to 60°C. 
  • For medium: Cook for 20-25 minutes or until tender and springy with some resistance with an internal temperature of 60°C to 65°C.
