My first London Broil smoke…
The rub:
2 Cups light brown sugar tightly packed
¾ cup kosher salt
⅓ cup chili powder
2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoon thyme
2 teaspoon oregano
2 teaspoon onion powder
I should explain, family doesn’t handle really spicy foods and we even have one relative who can’t have peppers at all. So the usual cayenne pepper had to be excluded. Anyway… I applied the rub the night before. I had a 4 lb. London Broil I just got from the store. Added a little bit of olive oil to help it stick and applied the rub liberally to the meat. I then placed it in a Ziploc bag overnight.
The next day I pulled it from the fridge and left it out to remove some of the chill from the fridge.
My rig is not Pro by any stretch. I am still working on getting parts for the mods. It is a Char Griller 3001 with the side fire box.
I am planning on sealing off the joint where the fire box meets the grill boxy and adding gaskets to the door and Lid.
Fuel:
Apple/Mesquite chunks and splits I ordered from a local warehouse.
My goal is to keep the grill at around 225 with a good smoke going, it can be a be a bit tricky with wood burning, but we will see how it goes….
After about 2 hours, meat hit the IT of 110, time to flip!
Added a water pan as well to keep things a bit moist in the chamber.
Meat is coming along nicely. Added a couple of smaller Applewood chunks to give a last shot of smoke (meat is registering IT of 135).
Hit an IT of 140 so pulled it and gave it a double wrap of foil and got it into the cooler with a towel for a while… 2 hour nap time. J
[endif]
I usually cook my meats to a rare\med rare finish, but since my wife was my critic, I ran a bit longer to hit a bit more toward medium… Here are the first couple of slices from the point end….
[endif]
It ended up pretty tender and moist. Got the thumbs up from my wife and my kids can’t seem to get enough of it. I guess that means it turned out pretty good!!!
If you guys have any thoughts, please share!!! I am a beginner and just trying some different techniques!
