Smoked Pot Roast

This is a great way to tenderize a cheap cut of beef like chuck roast. The meat is cooked slowly, first directly on the grill and then wrapped in foil with a tomato sauce that steams and further tenderizes it. It can be cooked either on a grill using low, indirect heat or in a smoker if you have one. The time in the recipe assumes a temperature in the grill of around 250 degrees F.

3 lb Boneless Beef Chuck
1/2 c Rub #1 Or Rub # 2
1/4 c Cider Vinegar
1 Onion,Chopped
1 cn No Salt Added Tomatoes
1 Jalapeno,Chopped, Optional

The night before you plan to barbecue, massage the rub into the roast, place in a plastic bag and refrigerate. Remove from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature while the grill or smoker heats. Bring the temperature of the grill or smoker to about 250 degrees F. Add wood chips as appropriate for your type of cooker. Place the roast in the cooker and cook over indirect heat for about 4 hours. Remove from cooker and place on a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil. Combine the vinegar, onion, tomatoes and jalepeno if desired and pour over the roast. Return to cooker and cook an additional 3 hours. Remove from cooker and allow to stand 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
