Sirloin Tip Roast Pulled Pork is one of my favorite things to make on my pellet grills. Sirloin Tip Roasts aren’t traditionally used for pulled pork, but don’t let that stop you. This was some of the most tender, moist, and flavorful pulled pork I’ve ever had. Plus, it is super economical. We pick these up at Costco and they are so versatile (and cheap!)
This delicious pulled pork is made with a surprising cut of pork: a sirloin roast! These economical roasts are widely available as 4-packs at Costco, and are one of my favorite things to use for this recipe.

Sirloin is too lean for the low-and-slow technique required for pulled pork… you need more collagen and fat. You will likely end up with dry, stringy meat (even if you add sauce). However, if you want to use the loin, keep the tmp as low as possible and go about 6–8 hours.

Can one eat pork?
A cooked, medium pork cutlet or steak provides 239 calories, 34 grams protein, 10 grams fat, 4 grams saturated fat, 697 milligrams sodium, and 0 grams carbohydrate, if you eat only the lean part of the steak. Pork contains many of the micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) found in beef and it is high in protein, but can be lower in fat than beef—depending on cut and preparation. Meat from any kind of mammal, including pork, can cause an allergic reaction (and some people who are allergic to mammalian meat also react to poultry).
How do you make a pulled pork sirloin roast?
Making a pulled pork sirloin roast isn’t complicated, but it does take time. A sirloin roast isn’t as tender as a pork loin or tenderloin roast, so it requires a longer cooking time for the connective tissues to become tender. The secret is keeping the roast moist while it bakes. Brine the roast for 24 hours before cooking.
How do I choose a good pulled pork roast?
The first step to achieving pulled pork perfection begins with selecting the right cut of meat. Opt for a boneless pork loin roast, which has the ideal balance of lean meat and marbling to ensure a moist and tender result. Look for a roast that is about 3-4 pounds in weight, which is perfect for serving a crowd.
