Rare Roast Beef (for Sammies) Lots of Views!!
I finally decided to do some of my own Rare Roast Beef for sammies, when my store had "Whole Sirloins" for $2.59 per pound.
All they had next to their sign were little steak size pieces, about 1.5 to 2.7 pounds, so I went over and asked one of the 3 butchers in the back what gives.
He said, "Oh you want a whole one to smoke?----I'll bring a couple out."
He brought 4 of them out, and I picked the one that was the most even in thickness, across the whole roast (7.88 lbs).
He put the others 3 where I hadn't been able to find any. Those guys are great, the way they work with you.

Here is how I did mine:

Day #1:
Rinse the roast off under clean cold water, and pat dry with paper towels.
Coat the whole thing with Worcestershire Sauce (THICK).
Coat the whole thing with CBP, Garlic Powder, and Onion Powder.
Wrap in Plastic Wrap, and put in foil on a dish, so it doesn't leak in your fridge.
Put in fridge over night.

Day # 2 (smoking day):
9:45 AM---------Pre-heat Smoker to 240˚.
10:30 AM--------Sprinkle Montreal Steak Seasoning on, and put on rack in second position.
10:30 AM--------Reset temp to 225˚.
1:30 PM--------Sterilize Meat probe & insert to center of roast (internal temp---111˚)
3:15 PM--------Remove roast at 135˚ IT, and cover with double foil.
4:00 PM--------Allow to cool down some, cut in half with grain, wrap in plastic wrap & put in fridge to cool down over night.

Day #3:
Put in Freezer for 1 1/2 hours.
Slice across grain for rare roast beef sammies.

Note: After sampling on Day #2, I ended up rubbing the outer coating of Montreal Steak Seasoning off, before slicing.
Many people like it. I tried it before & didn't like it. Then I thought I had put it on too heavy.
This time I only sprinkled it on lightly, and I still don't like it. I don't mind the salt, or the heat of it, but some of it tastes like cardboard. IMO
That plus the little pieces fall off all over the place anyway.

Thanks for looking,

Bear

Great thread Bear!

You know my weakness is thin sliced roast beef sammies.

I could eat them every day for the rest of my life!

Yours look delicious!
 
Now that's some tasty looking roast beef Bear -- I could go for one right now!  By the way -- I started using that thick worsty sauce thanks to you -- really good stuff.  Thanks for making me aware of it.

I also really like the little riser for your MES.  I need to make one for me.  The old back just doesn't take as well to all the bending...knees either!

Thanks Bear!

You just got me in trouble with the boss she is looking at your pics and says   " look how nice and neat his smoking area is  why doesnt yours look that neat?"

I need to quit visiting this site on my lunch hour.  Those sammies sure put my lunch to shame.  I think I need to locate a sirloin roast and make some for myself.  Great post!

I even pulled at the same temp as yours, just for you, instead of the 2˚ higher I usually do my Beef.

Double Thanks John!!!

You don't have to go as far as I did. I made those 4 risers out of pressure treated, so I could leave them out in the woods, where I was chainsaw carving.

Then I changed to doing mostly big bears anyway, and ended up having to carve them right on my Son's fork-lift (much easier). Some of my Bears weighed over 600 pounds.

I only used the risers for little Bears. I use them for other things too, to save the old back. Handy items!

What a beautiful roast you made! That was insanely delicious looking, and your sammich plate....well, that too if there are any words to describe that visual DELICIOUSNESS! Can't beat that combo in that sammy and those cheese fries; well, I could almost smell 'em. Perfectly browned and piping hot I'm sure.

Wow.

I have got to make one of these roasts. I see them at Sam's for $2.29 - $2.49 a lb justabout every time I go there. I need to make it happen. Thanks for the sharing, Bear!
