Makes. 4 to 6 servings
Takes. 15 minutes prep. Approximately 1 hour 10 minutes total cooking time.
Ingredients
The Meat
1 Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork Golden Rotisserie Flavor Pork Sirloin
6-8 medium garlic cloves, peeled
The Sriracha-Maple Glazed Sweet Potato Hash
2 tablespoon pure maple syrup
½ tablespoon Sriracha
4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into bite sized pieces
2 tablespoon canola oil
½ teaspoon Kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 slices Smithfield thick cut bacon, cooked and roughly chopped
Additional Tools
Vegetable grilling basket
Method
1) Prepare a grill for 2-zone cooking. On a charcoal grill, place a chimney full of pre-heated charcoal briquets on one side of the grill's charcoal grate in order to create direct and indirect cooking zones. Adjust the grill vents to bring the temperature to about 325°F. Add 2 to 3 chunks of your favorite smoking wood to the charcoal for flavor. On a gas grill, adjust the temperature knobs so that one half of the grill is off and the other half is heated enough to maintain a temperature of approximately 325°F on the indirect side.
2) As the grill comes to temperature, pat the pork sirloin dry with paper towels. Using a sharp paring knife, make a ¾-inch deep incision in the sirloin for each garlic clove. Use your fingers to insert the cloves as deeply as possible in the incisions.
3) Once the grill is ready, place the pork sirloin on the cooler side of the grill as far away from the heat source as possible. Set the lid on the grill with the fully opened top vent positioned directly above the pork sirloin in order to force the smoke over and around the meat. Allow the roast to smoke for approximately 1 hour until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.

4) While the sirloin smokes, combine the maple syrup and Sriracha in a small bowl and stir to combine. Set the Sriracha-maple glaze aside until ready to use. Place diced sweet potato in a mixing bowl. Add the canola oil, salt, and pepper and toss to fully coat the sweet potato.
5) Once the sirloin is done, remove it from the grill and cover loosely with foil.
6) Place a vegetable grilling basket on the hot side of the grill and add the diced sweet potato. Allow the sweet potato to lightly charred on all sides, turning frequently with tongs to ensure even cooking. Move the grilling basket to the cool side of the grill and cover the grill, allowing the sweet potato to continue cooking until fork tender (approximately 8-10 minutes total cooking time).

6) Place the charred sweet potato cubes in a mixing bowl and toss with the Sriracha-Maple glaze and bacon, ensuring the ingredients are completely coated with the glaze.
7) Slice the smoked pork sirloin and serve immediately with the Sriracha-maple glazed sweet potato hash.
