Title: Smoked beef roast
Post by: molyneux33 on August 22, 2017, 12:36:58 PM
Have a question.  I want to smoke a beef roast that will be moist and delicious but I don't want to pull it.  I want to slice it.  what would be the best beef roast for this?  Also, internal temp so it doesn't just fall apart but is still tender?  Thanks.

I would go to 120 internal, I know this is pretty rare but the roast will cook a bit more when it rests. Please let it rest tented looselywith foil, this way the juices willl re-ditribute before you slice. If you go to medium or above it will be too tough.

If you have a meat slicer, go thin and against the grain.

What he said. I also sear the outside first to get a nice crust. Then continue the cook at a low temp, like 250 degrees until 120 IT. By cooking it at a low temp, the meat will be pink from edge to edge.

I would suggest a top or bottom round beef roast and then cook it at about 300-325 degrees to an internal of about 125-130 degrees and this piece of meat will finish at medium rare or about 130-135 degrees. Then it must be sliced thin for the best results.

I'm with Old Dave on this one.  I also do a Sirloin roast the same way.  Slicing very thinly, across the grain is the only way to go.  If you slice with the grain it'll be chewy (but still taste good).
