A smoked beef roast is the perfect dish for a festive Sunday. The long smoking makes the meat incredibly tender and gives it that delicious smoky flavor.
Preparation
Step 1: Make the Rub
Mix all dry ingredients: paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, sugar, salt and pepper. Rub the beef roast with this and massage well in.
Step 2: Inject (optional)
Mix beef broth with worcestershire. Use an injection needle to inject the liquid into the meat. This ensures extra juiciness.
Step 3: Preheat
Let the beef roast come to room temperature for 1 hour. Preheat BBQ to indirect heat of 120°C. Add smoking wood (hickory or oak).
Step 4: Low & Slow
Place the beef roast in smoker or on indirect section. Smoke 4-5 hours until core temperature is 75°C. Spritz with apple juice every hour.
Step 5: Wrap and Finish
Wrap roast in butcher paper at 70°C. Let continue cooking 1 more hour. Slice against grain and serve with collected juices.
Tips
- Use a thermometer with probe to monitor core temperature.
- The "stall" at 65°C is normal – the meat absorbs smoke.
