Wink For those pieces of meat that just dont cut it

Hey fellow LCers !

This weekend I discovered what may have already been put out on this forum before but thought I would share anyways. I had to THICK sirloin steaks in the freezer that I had purchased on sale a couple of months ago. I bought 3 actually, and had cooked one of them back then on the grill just like a regular steak. It just didnt taste good, and I know it wasnt my cooking that was off
Anyways, yesterday I took the other 2 sirloin steaks (about 2 pounds) out of the freezer to try something new with them. When thawed, I rubbed them down with some Montreal Steak seasoning, nothing else since it is salted already. I dropped them in a big crock pot with about a cup or 1 1/2 cups of water that had been mixed with about 2 tsp of Au Jus base. I let them cook for about 4-5 hours on low. I tossed a pouch of Jack Daniels smoking pelets on the gas grill on top of the lit burner. I layed a piece of foil and set the pieces of drained beef on the foil, which I layed on a cooler part of the grill (ideally you want a multi burner grill) since it was already cooked and I just wanted to get the smoking effect. The more the meat needs to cook and the bigger the piece of meat and the more smokey you want it, the more you let it sit in the grill. My pieces were only a little over an inch thick and I didnt want them to get too dry so I let them sit for a little over 30 minutes. Next time I will use bigger pieces to get more of a roast beef effect, allowing me to slice the meat a little easier instead of having it just fall to pieces.
Finally, I mixed 2 tblsp of Mayo with 1 tbsp of horseradish for dipping the meat in.

Tip : Don't throw away the good broth that is in your crock. You can use it to dip the meat in along with the mayo-HR dip. You can also drop pieces of your favorite low-carb veggie and let it cook on low so you have a great side for your meat. I am trying yellow squash from my garden - not the lowest carb veggie but the only one other than arugula that's ready to pick and squash seemed like the better pick

Enjoy !!

Lucky
