The fam wanted some “sheaded” beef tacos this weekend cause I found this 2.5 lb chuck in the fridge last night.....

So it got salted then I made a rub paste with:
1tsp each pepper, garlic, onion, thyme, smoked paprika
2tsp rosemary
3tsp Demi glaze
1/2 tsp sugar
1/8 tsp red pepper
Paste made with a bit of water.

All rubbed up and the paprika was feeling left out and the red pepper just isn’t one for selfies....

This is going to be a “fast” cook since I slept in, here it is at 230 on the Memphis with lil’ devil pellets.

Ok getting ready for the wrap....beef stock, red wine, & a splash of Worcestershire, brought to a boil to remove the alcohol.

Well I didn’t bump the temp cause after covering it it just started climbing, I think cause it is a smaller chucky...

So it just hit 208 and is nice and tender so it is now resting in the warming drawing till dinner :-)

I’m happy it’s just right, tender but not mushy! I strained the reserves and skimmed the fat.

All pulled and waiting patiently in the reserves for the glutainy to begin....
