Help!!! Beef Round/Round Flat

[leejay99]

I really need some help. I am smoking for some friends next week and they dropped off some meat. I have almost 120 lbs of Beef Round, round Flat. I know what a botton round roast is but never heard of a round flat. I have found almost nothing in a DuckDuckGo search. I want to inject it, rub it and smoke it. Then, of course, comes the slicing. I tried to get them to get brisket but they decided on these. As for trimming, do I trim it like I do brisket? Thoughts on injecting and rubbing? I am thinking of about 135 for an internal temp. I think it will probably slice closer to roast beef rather than brisket. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!!!!

Thanks! Not what I really wanted to hear, lol. I like the slow roasted part but not sure about the moisture added. Injection? Braising??? I could go heavy smoke for flavor, I guess, then pan it, add some broth and braise. Oh boy, whole new can of worms. Thanks again!!!

Outside Flat Cooking ideas

One of the workers at the butchers gave me a outside flat instead of a brisket flat. i wondered why it was so thick! Ive read outside flat should only be cooked to Med Rare at most. Just wondering if anyone cooks this cut and if so, can you smoke it to 200 IT like brisket?

Starting to think smoking it to 135 and slicing it like roast beef.

A injection that has Sodium Tripolyphosphate (STPP) in will probaly help like Tony Chachere or Butcher Block.

Bottom flat is a bottom round, just had the rump attached to it,
