MASTER'S CUT CATEGORY DESCRIPTION - READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ENTERING:

1. Your entry must consist of Beef Top Sirloin as a primary feature. It can be a whole or partial beef top sirloin, or any section thereof.

2. You must cook the cut of meat using a charcoal and/or wood fired grill or smoker, or over an open wood fire.

3. Only one entry may be submitted per person.

4. You must submit at least one photo of your cut of meat in raw form, another one while it is on the cooker (note it does not still have to be in whole form while cooking), and at least one photo of your completed dish. You can submit other photos if you wish, but you must include these 3 to showcase the piece of meat, how you're cooking it, and the result. In other words, your entry will include 3 photos, not one. You are encouraged to post your full cook thread in QT, and link back here to this entry thread, but you MUST include these three photos in this entry thread.

Here is an example from a previous Master's Cut TD Vote thread:

5. No sides are allowed. You may however dress your dish with other (edible) items to pull the dish together into one specific entree. For example, with a short rib you could make a bed of salad greens, topped with sliced short rib, and dressed with other foods. However, a short rib or short ribs with a baked potato and/or asparagus on the side is not allowed. The entree you create must stand on its own.


You may submit entries that are cooked from Friday 3/31/17 through the entry submission deadline of 12pm (NOON), Central US Time on Monday 5/1/17.


Entry pictures must be submitted by 12 p.m. (NOON) Central US Time on Monday 5/1/17

Best of luck and even better eats to all!

Clarification on when this starts?
The first Friday in April is the 7th?
(Or is this an early April Fools? :p)

Edit: I am not a smart man. That's supposed to be Monday the 3rd of April I'm guessing

Good catch :thumb: Friday, 4/7 it is!
 
****MODERATOR'S NOTE****

Folks, we've decided to start this Throwdown a week earlier than originally planned so we have a full month's time for you to submit entries.

Given that this is the first time we've ever done Top Sirloin in ANY Throwdown, we're looking forward to seeing some great entries!
 
Not an official entry as I neglected to take a Final shot. Hoping some else at the shindig took one but haven't tracked it down yet.

You will need a raw pic too.

Can anyone tell me what an American 'Top Sirloin' is in Aussie?
And can I do one from a kangaroo?
 
buccaneer (and other non-US Residents) check out this link...

Page 8 of the pdf is where you will find the Top Sirloin

I've had to take this book in to show the butcher what I want sometimes - pictures make it a lot easier when you don't speak the language!

Picanha, one of my favorites. :thumb: I had a hard time finding a shop that regularly carried it with the cap on, but stumbled across a place that sells it aged and for a very reasonable price.

Those sausages look great too. What skewer setup is that?
 
Top Sirloin Steak with Blue-Cheese & Herb Compound Butter

This is my entry into the “Top Sirloin Master” Throwdown.
The local market had Top Sirloin on sale so I picked up a steak. (This was actually $5.31)

Raw Pic:

Rubbed it down and wrapped it up to get happy overnight.

Got my Jumbo Joe scorching hot and place on the steak. Seared it for 2 minutes and then flipped it and seared the other side for 2 minutes. I then moved it over the indirect side for 6 minutes and it was done.

Grill shot:

I brought it in and let it rest for 5 minutes. I then sliced it up, plated it and then spread on some softened Blue-Cheese & Herb Compound Butter. (See Link: http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=245655)

Entry Photo:

Delicious!

Thanks for looking.

As was pointed out by the missus, the plates the meal was served on are small picnic sized plates hence how full it appears! :shock:
