Chopped Beef

[indaswamp]

Pulled out a 9# sirloin tip roast from the freezer last week to make room for my 60# share of the 284# of cajun smoke sausage I made. Put that in the refrigerator to thaw slowly. Well it was good to go friday night, so in the smokehouse early Saturday morning. I split the roast in half (more bark, faster cooking time). Used 0.75% sea salt and 0.4% coarse cracked black pepper. Got the chamber up to 225*F and put the roasts in. Using white oak chunks for smoke. This is 4 hours in....

Took the temp. up to 203*F. Total of 10 hour cooking time. Rolled smoke the entire time. And Done....

Removed from chamber and wrapped in foil for about an hour on the counter covered with a meat tote upside down. Then sliced...you can see the collagen breakdown here...

And chopped...

The sandwich on a toasted bun with Sea salt and cracked black pepper kettle chips....

Really good sandwich. I'm set for lunches this week...

I'll take sliced, with gravy or au jus, maybe a dash of horseradish.
No, I'll take a chopped sandwich with pickled peppers and onions.

Excellent! That sammich looks killer.

NICE JOB! I would tear that up! I know the slices are all the rage but I much prefer chopped. Truthfully, wish we could talk more about how to achieve a good proper chop. No idea how. Few times I tried, I failed. Cleaver a must?

I used a 14" chefs knife. It is all about technique when chopping. I learned from watching the guys behind the counter at Bodacious BBQ in Texas off I-20....
