Snow Smoked Beef

Postby Steve » 07 Jan 2010, 21:13

Picked up an Angus Roasting joint from Costco in preparation for working from home due to the snow.

Given that I didn't have much prep time, I just gave it a rub with a blend of Head Country Championship Seasoning and Cow Town Spicy Rub and then smoked it with some oak to a nice medium-rare 137F internal.

Some pictures....

MAde up some horseradish mash, some braised red cabbage with apple and a little extra horseradish sauce (I'm addicted to horseradish :) ). Basically I used what I had in the house as I couldn't be arsed trudging to the shops.

I did really want to do some BBQ beans to test out my Christmas Dutch Oven but I didn't have any beans in :(

That's the good thing about slow cooking, I just whacked it on the grill and then went back to "work".

So wind your neck in, you with your old team logo :lol:

Im looking to smoke the same joint throughout tonight, starting at around 00:00

I really want to take my time to keep the meat nice and juicy!

How long did yours take and what temp did you set the internal of the smoker at?

This is quite a tender cut of meat, that's quite happy to be cooked at higher temps than your regular low 'n' slow. If I remember right, I cooked this one at 250F because the smoker didn't want to get any hotter in the cold temps outside. It cooked in a few hours, it was literally a put on at lunch time and ready by dinner time job. It's not like a brisky where you have to cook it through the plateu and up to the 195F mark as it's lean beef.
