So I went back to the light side (or is it the dark???) I went back to low and slow and uncovered for this cook and I might stick with it for a while as I liked the results. The results were just as tender as Myron’s hot and fast pan braising technique but the flavor of the meat was much more intense. To give you an idea of time difference the hot and fast technique took me 3 hrs to smoke the roast. This time it took 11 hours but good things take time I guess.
Anyway I smoked a chuck roast with royal oak lump and hickory chunks and finished in the oven with veggies.
1. Apply worshishier to the outside of the chuck roast and apply a thick coating of Jeff’s Texas style rub.
2. I smoked it at 225 deg F until the thickest part got 205 deg F (it took 11 hours)
3. Add onion, garlic cloves, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, a thin layer of Jeff’s Texas style rub to the top, a thin layer of worshishier, and add beef broth until everything is half covered in liquid while the roast is resting.
4. Chunk up the roast and add to the pan.
5. Braise covered in a 350 deg oven until veggies are tender. This will further tenderize the meat as well. It took 3 hours in the oven for me but the time will vary depending on the amount of food.
The flavor was amazing. If you haven’t ordered Jeff’s rub recipes I’d highly recommend it. Plus it supports the site.
Sorry I didn’t have more pics.
