directions

4. Coat the surface of the meat with the minced garlic.
5. Place** in a 225° F smoker*** and cook until the internal temperature reaches 140° F (Rare) - 160° F (Medium) usually about 6 - 7 hours.
6. Remove from the smoker and allow to rest for 15 - 20 minutes prior to serving.


notes:
*At a churrasco the sirloin is usually cut into about 2” cubes and then placed on long skewers.  It is then coated with the butter mixture and garlic and placed over very hot flames and served without a resting period.  Most home BBQ grills are not capable of achieving the necessary consistent even heat and are not equipped with multiple skewer rotisseries; therefore, the roast preparation presented here is preferable for the home cook.  The flavor and texture of the finished product is almost imperceptible and the chance of burning the meat or drying out the meat is greatly reduced. 
**Or on the rotisserie at medium - medium/high heat until desired internal temperature is achieved.  Rotisserie cooking times will be much shorter than smoker cooking times.  Please be safe and use a thermometer to check for meat doneness.  
***I prefer to use cherry or some other sweet fruit wood for the smoke.
