James Wales Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 After having a few discussions with my butcher about what exactly an "american chuck roast"we settled on a rolled chuck joint, I'm still not sure its what they get in America but i was happy enough It was 2.8k, £8.25 kg so around £22. I decided to rub with angus and oink the general, jess pryles black carnivore rub and a bit of dried sage and rosemary. I put it in my drum at 275-300f until the internal read 165f. I used some walnut and oak to smoke with as i wanted a really smokey flavour. As i was going for a slightly Mexican flavour profile on the beef i decided to do what i call "rainbow rice". For this i par boil some rice so it is nearly cooked i then mix with chopped tomatoes with juice, mixed peppers, cherry toms, sweetcorn, red kidney beans, spring onions and red onion. The reason for not cooking it all on the bbq is that i have had problems overcooking and undercooking the rice. this way it just takes 30 mins to warm through and the rice should finish cooking in the residual steam. When the beef hit 165f i wrapped it with bovril, some more rub and a bit of ale i was refreshing myself with at the time I let it cook like this wrapped until the internal was 203f then let it rest. It was beefy and smokey on tasting with a little kick. perfect for nachos and burritos. Nachos were just served with melted cheese, spring onion and sour cream With the burritos i wrapped some of the rice, lots of the beef a little cheese and using a little contraption i brought back from turkey which is a sandwich toaster for the bbq grilled them. wholemeal wraps obviously??

Smokin Monkey Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 They look amazing! Like the use of the cast iron Sandwich press, did you use it on the BBQ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valve90210 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I'm going to have to give this a whirl at some point, I'm loving the whole idea of it and am a huge fan of rice and that looks particularly spendid! No wraps for me though sadly - gluten free ones are too many calories and not nice enough to justify eating them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
