Categories     Roast Beef

Time 18h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (2 1/2-3 lb) chuck roast
3/4 cup dry red wine
3 tablespoons vegeta seasoning (or any other salt based rub)
5 -6 cups soaked wood chips (I used Hickory)
aluminum foil
3 cups water

Steps:

  • Marinate Chuck roast in a ziploc bag for at least 12 hours.
  • Pull meat from bag and reserve juices for basting.
  • Set meat on plate and cover with half the Vegeta seasoning. Allowing the meat to come to room temperature. Pick meat up and wipe excess wetness from plate and flip meat over to distribute remaining half of seasoning.
  • Indirect smoking on a normal grill and smoke is the process i used.
  • Place 10 coals on intake side of grill and get them ready.
  • Wood chips should be soaked for at least a half hour and no longer than 2 hours before being used.
  • Place aluminum drip pan under the grate and add water.
  • When coals are ready place meat on opposite side of coals over drip pan.
  • Add 1 cup of wood chips(drained) and cut off air flow from all vents to maximize the smokes effect.
  • When smoke stops being visible (usually 25-30 min) open grill and add more chips. At this time you can also baste with the reserved juices if appropriate ( I usually wait an hour to start basting).
  • After smoke from second application of wood chips has stopped then turn meat 180 degrees and repeat the application of wood chips.
  • At this time you should also add 5 or 6 coals and (throughout this whole time feel free to add if they are getting low. Adding a couple to the top of wood chips on every application will work well.).
  • After the next two applications of wood flip roast over and repeat the applications of wood and 180 degree turn. These steps should take about 2 hours. Remember baste as much as you can while you have the lid open.
  • Now place roast in aluminum foil and cover with another sheet, crimping the sides so the juices remain in the foil pack.
  • Sit the roast in the medium heat range on your grill and keep temperature around 300 degrees for at least 2 1/2 hours.
  • Slice and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Chuck roast is a flavorful and affordable cut of beef that is perfect for smoking. Look for a roast that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help to keep the meat moist during the smoking process.
  • Prepare the meat properly: Before smoking, trim any excess fat from the roast and season it generously with your favorite rub. You can also inject the roast with a marinade to help it absorb more flavor.
  • Use a good smoker: A good smoker will help you achieve the perfect smoky flavor. If you don't have a smoker, you can also use a charcoal grill or even a Dutch oven.
  • Smoke the meat low and slow: The key to smoking a chuck roast is to cook it low and slow. This will allow the meat to develop a rich smoky flavor without drying out.
  • Monitor the internal temperature: Use a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of the roast. The meat is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the meat rest before carving: Once the roast is done, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Smoking a chuck roast is a great way to enjoy a delicious and affordable meal. By following these tips, you can achieve the perfect smoky flavor and tender texture every time. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook beef, give smoked chuck roast a try.
