Smoked bottom round suggestions UPDATE

[ndfan6464]

So digging around in the freezer and I found a beef bottom round.. I thought hmmmm. Let's smoke this bad boy. So brings me to my question.

Q: who's done one and what what did you do prior if. Rub, brine etc?

Q: what temp did you pull it off?

I've roasted plenty of these just never thought about smoking one...

I did a rump with Jeff's Texas rub. Pul!ed at 130 could have used a few more minutes

Bottom Round makes good jerky if you're into jerky.

I've heard that it does and plan to do that with my second one. I found two hiding in my freezer..lol...

Wanted to smoke one for a regular meal..

Check into recipes online for "pit beef", that's a cut that's often used. When I've done these they are usually a bit "chewy" for my likes so I run them through the slicer on a very thin cut and pile on a hoagie roll, or such, with a bit of au jus.

"pit beef"

That was my immediate thought too. I get into the Baltimore area frequently and there are some primo pit beef stands all over the place. Recently acquired a slicer so pit beef might have to be on my menu this weekend.

I've heard Baltimore has some killer pit beef sandwiches...havent made it up that way yet but hope too before I move from this area...

Alrighty so this little ball of beef fun is on it's way to greatness.

Dry brined and injected with my beef injection overnight. Added my beef rub this morning allowing it to sit for about 4 hours in the fridge uncovered. Smoker will be set at 215

Also going to make an onion auju. I tossed the onions in olive oil and pepper. I will sweat the them for about 20 - 30min to pick up the smoke flavor. After that time frame I'll pour my injection stock in with the onions, cover with foil and let it sit with the beef untill it is done. At a internal temp of 145 I'll pull the beef and the onions. Allow the beef to rest for 30 mins and then eat like a fat kid wearing stretchy pants...

And here it is done. Sliced and read to for a short bath in the auju dip and then eat.
