Trying my hand at Roast Beef

[ptcruiserguy]

Seen lots of posts on here about smoked roast beef and decided that I would try it.

I found 2 nice looking Roasts at Wally World and decided that they must become

Roast Beef for sammies.

Then smothered in thin layer of mustard and rubbed with Weber's

Chicago Steak seasoning. 

Will post results in about 4 hrs or so. 

Oh forgot, I will be using a mix of Hickory, Oak, and Apple for smoke.

do you use Chuck roasts for making roast beef?

do you use Chuck roasts for making roast beef?

Technically Yes! It is beef and if you roast it then it's roast beef. If you mean roast beef sliced thin for sammies then No. Chuck has a lot of fat and when cooked it will shred easily, it won't slice real good. If you want med rare sliced roast beef you go with a top or bottom round or sirloin tip.

I couldn't help but plate some that night.  The rest of it went into sammie-sized slices.  It was phenomenal.  The only way it could have been better was if I had a slicer.  I'm decent at thin slicing by hand when I have a good knife, but there's no beating having the right tool for the job.

They look great!

I cooked them at 225 until IT was 140

they were both around 4.15lbs.

That is great information  and will save me a lot of "mistakes".    Thanks, judy
