Chuck Roast burnt ends
« on: November 11, 2017, 07:48:56 PM »
So I believe I may have perfected chuck roast burnt ends. I got a 6lb chuck and rubbed it with evoo and McCormick’s brown sugar bourbon grillmate spice and let it sit over night. Then woke up at 5am and put it in the smoker at 225 with mini loaf pan of apple juice and used about 2oz of sugar maple and an oz of cherry from smokilicious. Pulled it when temp hit 185 about 11hrs. Rested in foil and towel in the cooler til it was pretty much dinner time about 2hrs. Took it out cut it up into 1” cubes put them in a tinfoil pan covered them with honey and some honey chipotle sweet baby rays sauce in at 350 til caramelized.  Sorry I only remembered to take a picture when they were done.

Forgot to mention I also injected it with a cup of beef broth as well

Never thought of doing burnt ends with a chuck roast. Sounds like a great idea.

How was the texture?  For future endeavors, I wonder if a guy could start with stew meat?

Misread Dave. That’s a good thought to start with stew meat instead of a whole chuck. Prolly would only have to smoke for a few hours then.

I don't think stew meat would work as well. Most "stew meat" is really "mystery meat" and tends to come primarily from the round, and various other places, which are leaner than the chuck. You need a fair amount of intramuscular fat for burnt ends, and my guess is that stew meat would come out kind of dry. What amazes me is that around here, "mystery stew meat" is more expensive per pound than any roast. I guess you pay for the convenience. If I'm making stew, I'm going to buy chuck and cut it up myself. Much better meat. I like to know what part of the animal my meat is from, because all require different cooking techniques in order to maximize flavor and texture.

In my part of the country, the stew meat is called out as chuck roast.
