Smoked Pork Sirloin Recipe

If you’re looking to impress with a smoky, tender, and flavour-packed dish, this Smoked Pork Sirloin Recipe is your perfect match. Pork sirloin, a lean yet juicy cut, pairs beautifully with the low-and-slow smoking method, resulting in melt-in-your-mouth slices infused with rich, wood-fired flavour. Whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ or craving a hearty weekend meal, this recipe delivers smoky perfection with minimal effort.

The cooking process is also a bit different than it would be for fattier meats (think pork shoulder). Pork sirloin is naturally leaner and, when smoked properly, is just as tender. The trick is to give it a liberal dry rub, then smoke it low and slow over some of your preferred wood chips, such as apple, hickory, or cherry, and let the meat rest until you’re ready to slice it up. (And for those who want all the BBQ flavour without all the added fat.)

Serve it with traditional sides like coleslaw and baked beans or garlic mashed potatoes, and you’ve got a meal that’ll satisfy a crowd for any occasion. If you’re a pitmaster or just a weekend smoker, this Smoked Pork Sirloin is sure to elevate your grill game and will surely become one of your go-to recipes in your collection.

Ingredients

  

• Pork & Rub
• 2 lb pork sirloin roast
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp chili powder optional for heat
• Optional Glaze or Finish
• 1/4 cup BBQ sauce for brushing during last 10–15 min of smoking

Instructions

 

• Preheat the Smoker: Set your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Use wood chips like apple, cherry, or hickory for rich flavor.
• Prepare the Pork: Pat the pork sirloin dry with paper towels. Rub all over with olive oil. In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chili powder. Coat the pork evenly with the dry rub.
• Smoke the Pork: Place the pork sirloin directly on the smoker grates. Close the lid and smoke until the internal temperature reaches 145–150°F (about 2.5 hours).
• Optional Glaze: In the last 15 minutes, brush the outside with BBQ sauce if desired for a sweet and smoky glaze.
• Rest: Remove pork from the smoker and tent loosely with foil. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• Serve: Slice thinly across the grain and serve with your favorite sides!

Notes

• For juicier pork, avoid overcooking past 150°F.
• Great served with coleslaw, grilled corn, or garlic mashed potatoes.
• Leftovers make excellent sandwiches or wraps the next day.
