Looking for suggestions for this weekend

bertkemtncurs · 04-10-2007, 06:27 PM

I think I've porked out the family with ribs, butt, and loin the past weekends. I want to smoke something different this weekend, I'm thinking beef. I'd love to try a brisket, but I can't find any here, except corned. I don't know if that would work (doubt it). Any suggestions on a good cut of beef to smoke, or a place to buy brisket in central OH?

Thanks!

Chuck roast is a good beef smoke.

Puppyboy · 04-10-2007, 06:31 PM

A nice roast sliced thin is awesome.

What he said. Also Tri-tip can be an option based on your region.

Bottom round, clod (shoulder) roast, Prime Rib, Short ribs

man, there has to be a place to find a whole brisket in central Ohio. Have you really look at a butcher or meat market or just the local grocery store? Heck even here in KC our markets only carry packer flats. You have to find a good market to get a whole one but there's lots.

I'll second that. Easy, relatively inexpensive, good stuff. I smoke a 3.5 lb'er for 5 or 6 hrs, wrap in foil and cook until tender, another 2 or 3 hours. Then I pull, sauce and serve on a grilled onion roll. Cole slaw is optional. Don't worry about the finish internal temp, time's more important with chuckies.

Got to be a Chuck roast. Cook it just like a pork butt, can't go wrong. Delicious.

If you have not done much beef low and slow, the chusck roast is the best way to go--more forgiving than a brisket, great flavor.
my 2 cents.

Right, but be sure to check tenderness with a probe or fork-Time, just like internal temp, is a guide, not a rule. The true measure is how the probe goes in and out. You are looking for no resistance, or very little, just like a pork butt when is is "pullable".

Thanks guys, looks like I'll be chuck'in it! Any tips on size?

HoDeDo · 04-10-2007, 08:31 PM

Gents - I think a smoked corned beef is a great way to go. We served a TON of it on St. Patty's Day. I think they might really like a smoked corned beef brisket.

Or, go to the Sam's Club in Ontario, OH and ask them to give you a great packer or one of their pseudo-flats...

Smoked corned beef makes a great pastrami - soak in water for a couple days changing the water a couple times a days. dry, rub with 5:1 ratio of ground black pepper, garlic powder, and ground corriander. smoke at 250

cmcadams · 04-10-2007, 08:56 PM

If you have a Sam's, they're likely to have a brisket.

Chuckies are usually 3 to 4 lbs in these parts. They work well wuth the method I described.

That's a good idea too. I have a couple in the freezer right now waiting for me to make some time for home made "pastrami."

Edit: Hey, I figgered out the multi - quote on my first try. Not bad for a dumb mech engr.

How about a meatloaf. Very tasty when done right. and it looks so cool to put a meaztloaf on the table and tell people it was BBQ'd.

Gotten to the point that is the only way we have had a meatloaf in about a year now.
