Smoked Teriyaki Pork Sirloin
Pork sirloin is one of my favorite cuts from the pig. It’s a great cut for smoking that only takes about 2 hours. This sirloin was marinated in a simple teriyaki marinade for 24 hours. I then tied it up and smoked the sirloin for 2 hours using 2/3 hickory and 1/3 cherrywood. Using a probe thermometer, smoke the pork until it reaches an internal temperature of 145-150 degrees. Let rest for 20-30 minutes before slicing.
