Garlic Beef Roast

[grothe]

I wanted to make a garlic roast beef, but I've got ta clean out the freezer for the next steer. Pulled out an Eye Round Roast.....good enough for me!!
I took 8 cloves of garlic, sliced into slivers, and inserted them around the roast. Then rubbed w/ more garlic,thyme, and black pepper.


Smoked @ 225 til internal of 100


I then added more rub to the drippings, basted and wrapped the roast


Finished in the smoker til internal of 135, then rested it for an hour.

I was starving so I cut off a couple of slices and wrapped it back up for the fridge.


With all the garlic, it still could have used more!!! LOL
Oh, and the taters.....I've never had good luck with em.....after 5 hours in the smoker, they still weren't done.

Oh well, off to the slicer....sammies for lunch this week!!!




Seemed kinda fattie for a eye round but it's not store bought and our beef tends to be on the fattie side anyhow. Da** cows are spoiled!!!

Anyway, I'm definitely gonna try this again....maybe w/ a garlic marinade to start with(looking for more garlic taste)!

Suggestions always appreciated!!!!

Thanks for checking out my thread!

Hey, Gene!

Excellent post. Think I can help you with the taters. After washing the taters run a stainless kabob shaft through them. It will carry heat to the inside as the outside cooks and takes up smoke.

And for more garlic taste, try adding a bit of garlic powder to your rub. Garlic powder is fairly powerful so be careful not to overpower the wonderful flavor of your beef.

Most fresh herbs and seasonings tend to "cook out". So, perhaps a half hour before removing from heat or just as you foil add more fresh garlic.

Just a few suggestions. Play with them!
Cheers!

nice tip, gonna have to try that, i have always had trouble with spuds not completly done also!!! makes sense daaah!!! thanks

 

[jeremyh]

My smoker is baffled but I always stick the spuds closest to the firebox seems to help alot.

 

[grothe]

Thanx Monty!!! (writing more notes to myself) Gonna try both your suggestions...they really make sense!

Okay Gene, you asked for it. Here is my recipe for "Stinkin' Beef". It's normally done dutch oven style, but I modified it to do in a smoker. Ya say ya like garlic, well hold yer nose!!

Dutchâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s Chuck Roast with 40 Cloves of Garlic

aka “Stinkinâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji] Beefâ€



Ingredients

• 1 3-4 pound boneless Chuck roast
• fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
• garlic or onion powder to taste
• 40 cloves of garlic unpeeled
• 1/4 cup dark balsamic vinegar

Directions

• place chuck roast in a 12 inch dutch oven
• sprinkle beef with onion powder and black pepper
• spread the 40 cloves of garlic on and around the beef
• sprinkle with the balsamic vinegar
• place dutch oven in a 250°smoker and smoke for two hours
• bump smoker temp to 350° and cover beef with heavy duty aluminum foil and braise beef for an additional hour (this will also help to soften the garlic)
• place the beef on a serving platter reserving the juices
• press the garlic from the skins
• discard the skins and add garlic to the reserved beef juices
• stir well and pour over sliced beef.
• ENJOY!!
