Ingredients You’ll Need
To make this delectable dish, gather the following ingredients:
- ~3 lb Chuck Roast (Select one that is well marbled for the best flavor)
- Yellow Mustard (for seasoning)
- BBQ Rub of Choice (I recommend @blazingstarbbq All In One)
- 2-3 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 5-6 tbsp Butter
- 3/4 cup BBQ Sauce (I used @Traeger Grills Honey BBQ)
Note: Measurements are suggested; feel free to adjust based on your personal preferences.
Step-by-Step Directions
1. Preparing the Chuck Roast
First, cut the chuck roast into approximately 1.5-inch cubes. This size allows them to cook evenly and absorb flavors effectively.
Coating:
- Coat the meat cubes in yellow mustard. This acts as a binder for the seasonings.
- Season generously with your chosen BBQ rub, ensuring all sides are covered.
2. Smoking Process
- Place the seasoned cubes on a smoker set at 250°F (121°C).
- Smoke for about 2-3 hours or until they develop a nice bark and the internal temperature reaches around 165-175°F (74-80°C).
3. Adding Flavor
Once smoked, take the cubes off the smoker and transfer them into a large pan:
- Sprinkle with brown sugar and an additional layer of BBQ rub.
- Add pats of butter and drizzle your favorite BBQ sauce over the top.
- Tightly cover the pan with foil to lock in flavors and moisture.
4. Final Cooking
Put the pan back on the smoker and let it cook until the internal temperature reaches about 205°F (96°C). This typically takes 1-2 hours.
5. Serving
After cooking, allow the burnt ends to rest for a few minutes before serving. This lets the juices redistribute, making every bite succulent and satisfying.
Key Takeaways
