Smoked and Sliced Beef Chuck Roast

If you want to avoid doing brisket just because of the extra work and the leftovers, you should turn towards chuck roast, which has a more affordable price and weight. It has enough flavor just like the brisket and becomes tender along with sliceable when roasted. This smoked chuck roast is undeniably tasty, and you should try it at home. 

Ingredients-

• One beef chuck roast (approximately 3 pounds)
• Coarsely ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt per pound of meat 

Procedure-

• For the preparation of the smoked chuck roast, add kosher salt over the chuck roast. Keep it aside for one or two hours so that the salt is absorbed, and the process is called dry brining. You should use a half teaspoon of kosher salt for one pound of meat, but you can also eyeball it.
• For the indirect cooking of the smoked chuck roast, prepare a smoker. Make sure you adjust the smoker or grill vents so that the temperature is brought down to 225 degrees F, and also, you can make use of two to three chunks of your favorite smoking wood too for that flavor. If you are using a gas grill, then make the adjustments so that half of the grill is on the indirect side, and the other half maintains a temperature of 225 degrees F on the side of the indirect heat.
• After the grill is ready, add some black pepper over the chuck roast and season it well. 
• Now place the chuck roast on the indirect side away from the heat source and place the lid on the grill with the open-top vent. We position it above the chuck roast so that the smoke comes over and around the meat.
• When the internal temperature of the meat goes upto 180 degrees F stop smoking.
• After it’s done, remove the smoked chuck roast and slice it.

Total Time 20 hours hrs

Course main

Cuisine American

Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  

• 4 pound beef chuck roast
• Butcher's twine

Beef Rub:

• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 2 teaspoons black pepper

Instructions

 

• Rinse the chuck roast with cold water and then pat it dry using a paper towel.
• Use one or two pieces of twine to secure the chuck roast around its circumference. And then use three to four pieces of twine for tying it around the width so that a grid pattern is formed with the twine.
• Whisk all the ingredients in a small bowl for the rub. Mix it using a whisk, so no lumps are formed. Take the rub mix and rub it on the chuck roast on all the sides. Wrap the chuck roast in a plastic wrap and let it marinate for 4-5 hours in the refrigerator. This marination process helps the meat to absorb the meat.
• If you are doing it on an outdoor grill, make sure the coals are hot and then add the meat over the centre of the grate with the drip pan below filled with water. Add some soaked wood chunks and wood chips on the hot coals and cover it well.
• Use the vents with dry and wet wood chips so that it reaches a temperature of 225 degrees F. Add coals or soaked wood chips so.smoke and temperature is maintained for first four hours.
• Make sure the temperature is nearly 225 degrees F every hour and do not open the lid frequently so that the temperature and smoke are maintained.
• Smoke the Roast till the internal temperature is about 190 degrees F after 6-8 hours, and after the chuck roast develops a dark bark on it.
• After you remove the meat, it's temperature may rise to 200 degrees F, which is the perfect temperature. But if it increases more than that, then the meat may become dry and chewy, which is very well disappointing.
• After removing it from the smoker, wrap it in double layers of aluminum foil and let it cook in the smoker for one hour more till the internal temperature is 225 to 250 degrees F.
• This process helps in the tough connective tissue's meltdown and lets the outer surface parts get juicy due to the dripping of the juices.
• After one hour, unwrap the foil and remove the chuck roast on a cutting board with the foil below it. Let it cool down for half an hour till the temperature drops to 150 degrees F.
• Cut the chuck roast when you want to serve it, or else it dries quickly. Use a sharp knife to cut it into one fourth to one eighth inch pieces.
• Serve it simply on a plate or drizzle some BBQ sauce over the smoked chuck roast.

Notes

Cut the slices from the smoked chuck roast of the parts you want so that it does not get dry.
