Either works.I normally do Top because we have Choice Top on sale here quite often.

Any tips?

Do it like this and it will be delicious.
coarse sea salt
coarse black pepper
onion and garlc powders
coriander
ground mustard seed
Over red oak 255-265* is what the WSM wanted to run, so I let her for ~3 hrs until 135*

Thanks Moto,
Do you put the beef right on the rack or in a pan with some liquid?

Pretty much any lean cut will work for roast beef. Top round, bottom round, cross rib, it all works.

Look at the first 3 pics,I put a little water in the pan with the onions and celery.
Oh... I lightly crushed the mustard seeds in a mortar & pestle.

Sounds good!
I may take this on this weekend.
Did you spritz at all?

 

[motocrash]

Nope.Rubbed the excess blood off/in and hit it with all of the above.Let warm while I fired smoker and let it settle in.Put it on rack over veg and let'er rip till she hit 135* never opened lid.Opened hatch once to add some more red oak "my mini splits".They're about 1-2" x 4".

With Venison I know the Top Round is more tender than the Bottom Round. I assume that beef is the same way :)

 

[motocrash]

Correct,but the difference isn't near as drastic as deer.

I also wrapped it in saran after it wasn't very warm to the touch and refer for ~ 20hrs.Sliced real good out of my cold garage refer.Though I wasn't trying to shave it.

Either on makes great sammies sliced real thin against the grain!
