Smoked Chuck Roast
This smoked chuck roast is a budget-friendly alternative to brisket, cooked low and slow for tender, juicy, fall-apart beef. Perfect for slicing or shredding, this “poor man’s brisket” uses a simple rub, apple juice spritz, and foil wrap to lock in moisture and flavor.
Servings: 5
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chuck roast
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon coarse black pepper
- 2 teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ cup yellow mustard
- ¼ cup apple juice
- ½ cup beef broth
Instructions
- Preheat your smoker to 250°F. In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and onion powder.
- Rub the mustard all over the chuck roast, then sprinkle the brown sugar mixture over the roast, pressing it into the mustard.
- Smoke the chuck roast until it reaches an internal temperature of 170°F, which will take about 3 ½ to 4 ½ hours. Every 30 minutes, spritz the roast with apple juice.
- Add your chuck roast to a large sheet of aluminum foil. Slightly bring up the edges of the foil, add the beef broth, and wrap the chuck roast in the foil. Return the roast to the smoker until the internal temperature reaches 200°F, approximately 1 hour.
- Allow the meat to rest covered for 1 to 2.
- Slice the chuck roast against the grain and enjoy.
