When I told the butcher I wanted a Sirloin Cap Roast, he said what I wanted was a Baseball Roast.
Told him I was cooking Picanha. He said the Baseball Roast was what I wanted.
I said I wanted Namp 184D with about 3/8" of fat left around the outside of the roast. He said he knew what it was. OK.... I gave in.
Well... a Baseball Roast is Namp 184F. This one didn't have as much fat - maybe 1/4" at most. I accepted it because I had him cut it.

Used 1/8 cup Olive Oil, 1/8 cup Water, 1/4 head minced Garlic & 1 tbs Lime Juice for a marinade.

The roast was sliced into 2" strips & marinated it for several hours or so in the fridge. Removed the meat from the marinade, gave it a heavy coat of salt flakes & skewered it.

Cooked it in the 14.5 over used KBB & three big chunks of mesquite.

Pulled when the strips had an IT of 130*.

Dinner was very good. Wifey though the meat was a little rare. I liked it just fine. The marinade is a Malcom Reed recipe.

That is an absolutely gorgeous dinner!!! I started to drool at the sight of that meat!! I'm curious about one thing, the lime juice: Is it even enough to taste? Is there some other purpose other than flavoring?

Thank you. & thanks for the question regards the lime juice. Should have been 1 tbs Lime juice & have edited the op to make the correction. Oh.... & you can taste the lime juice. You can use more if you wish.
 
Wonderful cook Robert. Love the Baseball Steak (although I'm having a hard time thinking baseball this year) and those black beans and yellow rice are killer! Sounds like your butcher knows his stuff. My butcher, I believe an apprentice... I hope, tried to convince me recently that a pork butt came from the hind quarter of the hog. I gave up arguing and walked away, turning my head and saying "Google it".
 
I started drooling BEFORE the first picture!
I've never done a baseball steak but, I'm looking to find a protein for a family dinner for six tomorrow, that looks pretty darned near perfect for the project!

You can get 3 - 4 steaks out of a Sirloin Cap Roast. That might not be enough to feed 6 people. Another option is to get a 2" thick Top Sirloin & use that. There will be one cap steak on it, but the rest of the steak will be pretty good. You can cut it into 2" wide long strips or big chunks.
 
Hmmm, I remember my Dad getting a really BIG sirloin and slicing it for groups. Easier to do when everyone can agree on a mutual "doneness" I have two rare fans and one medium and three "done to death" to contend with. This bears some consideration. My wife is not really much of a steak person, she actually prefers a well done (almost shingle) burger! Me? Knock the horns off, wipe its snotty nose and throw it on the plate! Go figure!
