How to make Smoked Pulled Beef?
If you’re looking for an alternative to pork for your next pulled meat, why not try beef? Smoked Pulled Beef is a delicious, hearty option that is perfect for any time of year.
To make Smoked Pulled Beef, you’ll need a beef roast, your favorite BBQ sauce, and some patience.
- First, slow-cook the beef roast until it is tender and falling apart. Then, shred the meat with a fork or chop it into small pieces.
- Next, mix in your desired amount of BBQ sauce.
- Finally, smoke the mixture over low heat until it is heated through and the flavors have melded together.
Smoked Pulled Beef is great on its own or as part of a larger meal. Serve it on a bun with coleslaw and pickles for a classic BBQ sandwich, or use it as a filling for tacos or enchiladas.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. beef brisket
- 1 tsp. pepper
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 cups wood chips
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (15 oz) can of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (4 oz) can dice green chilies
- 1 (4 oz) can of tomato sauce
- 2 tsp. cumin
- 2 tsp. chili powder
- 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Brush the brisket with olive oil and sprinkle on pepper.
- Place in smoker and cook for 3 hours, or until the brisket reaches an internal temperature of 190 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing thin against the grain.
- Serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
- Start with good quality beef. Look for a cut that has some fat content, as this will help keep the meat moist during smoking.
- Trim any excess fat from the beef before smoking.
- Soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using them to smoke the beef. This will help ensure that they smolder, rather than flare up and cause the meat to dry out.
- Plan on smoking the beef for 3-4 hours, depending on its size and thickness. Check it periodically to make sure it's not drying out or overcooking.
