This recipe uses 5 basic items in the recipe including the beef! I started with an easy to find piece of meat - Chuck Roast. It is an inexpensive piece of beef available in almost any grocery store around.
I got my piece of meat from a local rancher that focuses on grass fed, open range beef - MM Livestock. They also have a blog with lots of good ideas and information. If you don't live in Southern California, check out the web and see if you can find a beef rancher similar in your area! Not only does the beef have incredible flavor, the self sustaining theory of the rancher is refreshing in this rushed lifestyle most of us live.
Here's the 5 basic ingredients:
Beef Chuck Roast
Worcestershire Sauce
Simple Marvelous Sweet & Spicy Dry Rub
Apple Juice
BBQ Sauce
You can find Simply Marvelous on line here. Their dry rubs are amazing and can be used on almost anything. I suggest purchasing the 5 Pack Variety. You will not be let down!
If you don't have Simply Marvelous you can use your favorite dry rub. If the rub has a heavy or really spicy flavor, don't over do it, you want each layer of flavor to compliment, not overpower the other layers of flavor.
Rub the Worcestershire sauce liberally over the beef. You can't use too much! This will add a layer of flavor and allow the dry rub to stick to the meat. Let it soak in for 15 minutes or so and then apply the Simply Marvelous dry rub heavily over the meat. Let it rest for a 1/2 hour or so to allow the rub to melt into the meat.
While the meat is soaking in flavor, start your smoker. I smoked this chuck roast just like a brisket. Smoker was set at 225.
You could also use your oven or on the gas grill if you cook using the multi zone method. Turn the burner on the left side on it's lowest setting and place the meat on the far right side. Try and maintain the grate temp near the meat at 225F.
