I have been reading up here on roast beef for the last few weeks. After getting a new used meat slicer a couple weeks ago, I decided to pull the trigger on the roast. I went to Costco and got a couple really nice eye round roasts. I marinated them over night with some Montreal steak seasoning and a splash of Worcestershire sauce.
The next day (yesterday) I fired up my MES and set it to 240. I filled my AMNPS with a mix of cherry and hickory pellets.
I chopped up an onion, some celery, carrots and garlic and threw that into the drip pan and put the meat and pan into the smoker.. After an hour, I added beef broth, thyme, a basil leaf and a tablespoon and a half of tomato paste to the drip pan.
After about 4 hours I hit 135* and pulled the meat. I wrapped it in plastic wrap and foil and set it aside.
The drip pan mix then went into a pot where it was boiled and simmered for about 30 minutes. I then strained the vegi's out of the drip pan mix which made a GREAT Aju's. I then threw one of the roasts on the slicer and put the other in the fridge to be sliced later today.. This was some of the best roast beef I have ever had and I couldn't have done it without all the helpful threads here! Thank you guys very much!
Now for the pics!
