Servings 6
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground oregano
- 3 pounds boneless chuck roast
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 large white onion
Instructions
- Preheat the smoker to 225°F. Add 1 cup beef broth to a spritzer and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper and oregano. Using your hands, rub the seasoning mixture into the beef roast. Using kitchen twine, tie the beef roast around the circumference in 1-½ inch rows and crisscross the twine over the top and bottom.
- Place the chuck roast on the smoker and maintain a smoker temperature between 225°F and 275°F. Smoke, spritzing the roast every hour with the broth, about 3 hours or until the roast's internal temperature reaches between 150 and 160°F and a nice bark has formed.
- Meanwhile, slice the onion into medium-thick slices. Do not separate the rings. Arrange the onions in the bottom of a disposable aluminum roasting pan and pour the remaining broth into the pan.
- Add the roast to pan and seal tightly with a heavy duty sheet of aluminum foil. Insert an instant read thermometer into the roast through the foil. Continue smoking 5 hours or until the internal temperature of the beef is about 200°F and there is no resistance when a fork inserted into the roast is twisted.
- Vent open the foil covered pan and release the steam. Reseal the pan and let the roast stand 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Place roast on a carving board and shred it using two forks or your hands. Discard any tough connective tissue. Slice only what you plan on serving.
- Pile shredded beef on top of buns and drizzle with a little juice. Serve with a bowl of au jus for dipping. Top with your choice of toppings.
Suggested Toppings
- Barbecue sauce, horseradish cream sauce, au jus, raw or sautéed onions, pickles, pickled peppers, and coleslaw.
Storing and Reheating
- Leftover roast can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated for up to 1 week. Reheat the roast in the foil in a 275°F oven for about 1 hour or until heated through.
Notes
A 3 pound boneless beef chuck roast will yield about 2 to 2-½ pounds of smoked chuck roast.
