Well, I’ve been in the mood for a good roast beef (not Arby’s,but the real thing) so I thought I’d give it a whirl.
2.68# chuck tender roast
•Rubbed with Montreal Steak seasoning
•240 degrees on the MES
about 3 1/2 hours till an IT of 145 with mesquite for the whole smoke
•Rested covered for an hour then a few samples sliced
• stores in plastic wrap till it can be ran through the slicer on paper thin tomorrow
For a first roast beef I have no complaints. I’m not familiar with the “chuck tender roast” but I don’t think it was a bad choice for this smoke. Flavor is amazing and I will be doing this smoke again, probably before the weekend! This is my first experience with mesquite and I wasn’t disappointed.
