Head Country Pork Sirloin Tip

[smoker pete]

Rubbed a 2¾ lb Costco Pork Sirloin Tip Roast with EVOO for the glue and Head Country All Purpose Championship Seasoning.  Wrapped with plastic and into the refrigerator overnight.



Removed the Pork Tip Roast from the fridge ½ hour before inserting it in the preheated MAK 2 Star.  Using Hickory.  Took 2¾ hours to reach an IT of 150ºF.  Pulled the roast and rested it under a foil tent for 20 minutes before serving.  After resting, the IT reached 153ºF and was exceptionally moist and flavorful.



The money $shot ...  Hickory smoked Head Country All Purpose Championship seasoned Pork Sirloin Tip Roast, Mashed Potatoes and Brown Gravy served with a side of Pork Stuffing and steamed Brussels Sprouts.

That must be another West Coast cut of meat as I have looked in many stores and have yet to see it, I really want to find one and try it after seeing these cooks.

Great looking plate there Pete

I pick them up at Costco Ron.  Kirkland is their house brand.  The roast are about 2¾ lbs each and come in a package of 4 each individually vacuum sealed.  Makes it easy to toss in the freezer for future use

I've never heard of the Pork tip roast.  How is it different and where is it cut from?  Phil

I'm no Butcher Phil ... I just play one on this forum


But I'm going to make an educated guess!  As you can see from the cuts info below the Loin has a few roasts and one of the them is called the Sirloin Roast which comes from the front, center, or rear of the Loin.  Since Kirkland (Costco) is calling it the "Tip" I am guessing that a Pork Sirloin Tip Roast is cut from the front of the Loin!?  What do you think?

One thing I know is that it's an extremely lean cut of meat and it accepts rubs and smoke very well.  The size is perfect for SWMBO and I.  Enough for a nice dinner and a few sammies the next day

Speaking of Pork, I just finished 3 bisquits load with country cream gravy with sausage chunks.  What a way to start the day.  I think your're right about the location and I am going to Costco today to investigate.  Phil
