Super easy BBQ beef

Have a smoker and want to try some BBQ beef? Everyone loves the idea of brisket, but it is too expensive a cut, and not easy to get right. Here's an alternative that costs about £10/kg and makes a great meal. Choose a roasting beef side. These are meant to slow cook in the oven and have some decent marbling, but are not as rich as brisket. Cut off the strings (they are sold rolled) and open up. Place on a hot flaming grill and turn frequently till browned all over. Don't worry if the fat catches a bit. Place in a foil tin on some baking paper. Season with herb salt (try* amzn.to/3RSIGhh ) and a BBQ rub all over (try* amzn.to/3Wd5YB9 ). Add a small glass of water in the tin at this point. Wrap in a good deal of foil and place in the BBQ for a minimum of 3 hours, starting at 180 and dropping to a steady 150 Celsius. When you open the foil wrap, place on the fire to harden the bark and bake in the taste of the rub. This dish goes great with some orzo pasta. See • How to make Youvetsi
I recommend* using lumpwood charcoal amzn.to/3XH0zDh . If you like the smoker I am using, you can find it on amzn.to/4cjNCnx

Looks very dry…don’t know what I was expecting from such a lean cut though 😅

Tbf it does look dry, but it was super soft though and tender, so happy all around
