Poor Man's Burnt Ends

Step 1

Preheat smoker to 250º F.

Step 2

Cut the chuck roast into about 1 inch sized cubes. You want to ensure they are all the same size, so they cook evenly.

Step 3

Toss the chuck roast cubes with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 4

Arrange on smoker and cook at 250º F until they reach an internal temperature of 175º F. This takes about 2 hours.

Step 5

Every 30 minutes during the cook time spray the beef cubes with beef broth to keep them from drying out.

Step 6

After the meat reaches 175º F, wrap it up in butcher paper or foil. Add a few pats of butter over the top of the meat and place back on the smoker.

Step 7

Cook for about another 90 minutes, until the meat reaches 205º F.

Step 8

Remove from the smoker and allow the meat to rest for 15 minutes before tossing with barbecue sauce to serve.
