Sliced Chuckies

[chilerelleno]

My younger son doesn't like pulled meat, he likes it sliced or coarsely chopped.
So every so often I cook for him over the rest of the family who aren't so picky.

I dry brined two chuckies with coarse Kosher salt, about 5 hours per side.
Then rubbed them heavily with a smoked paprika heavy SPOG.
Onto the smoker at 225° until the IT was 165°.
Then into foil with butter and fresh herbs until 185°, and probing like peanut butter.
Rested for an hour and then sliced for serving.

Roasted some potatoes, carrots and celery with fresh herbs to go with the beef.

The Beef looked so good.

Beef and Roasted Veggies... YUM!

Fantastic . I'm in on the potatoes and carrots too .
I agree on the sliced / chunked over shredded .

Some great looking BBQ there. Veggies look great too.
I usually have trouble deciding how to slice chuck roasts, with the different muscles running in different directions.

Got my mouth watering big time!! Very nice cook!!

That's a superb supper.
Interesting son doesn't like pulled meat. That's near the texture of the food they serve in school lunches.

I love pulled chuck but I'd sure eat some of that sliced too. Nailed it!

Thanks.

Our kids are/were Home Schooled, thus no nasty public school cafeteria food for them.

So Mr. chilerelleno, noticed you pulled it out at 185, not 200 like all the recipes I've seen. Is that because you sliced it instead of pulling it ? I'm doing one this weekend and am trying to get as much info as possible. TIA

Great looking meal. I like the salt brine and SPOG concept.

We have a hard time finding chuck steaks that thick at our local stores. They are usually cut to 1 1/2”-2”. Those look more like 4”.

Looks good!

I do sliced chuck when I get the motivation for meal prepping for lunches. I'll slice it and partition it off into individual sandwich portions and vacuum seal. Then all I have to do in the morning is grab a packet of beef, a slice of cheddar, and a bun. It reheats really well just on a paper plate in the microwave!

Not sure how I missed this , John. That sliced chucky is perfect !!

Yes'sir, sliced beef or pork needs to be a little firmer, so its done at a lower IT and it probes like peanut butter instead of warm butter.
