Hi, all!
I bought some beef loin bottom sirloin tri-tip (quite the mouthful, eh?) pieces (big pieces) at Sam's Club last week. I have smoked lots of pork, some chicken, some fish, and even some cheese, but I have yet to smoke any beef.
The meat is thawing in the fridge right now, and I realized I don't know what rub (if any) to prepare it with, as all the rub recipes I have are for pork, or chicken.
Also, I am not sure what type of wood chips I should be smoking with. I almost always use hickory for pork, and mesquite for chicken, but I have branched out a bit. I do have hickory, alder, mesquite, and apple chips currently (and I live in a small town without immediate access to other chips). Of these, which will be best for beef? And for the future, is there a better choice of chips for beef?
Thank you in advance of any help!
Katie
