Smoked Pot Roast

Step 1

Make the roast: When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 180℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke if available.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the chuck roast.

Step 3

Place the chuck roast directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and smoke for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the roast from the grill and increase the temperature to 275℉.

Step 4

Make the braise: Transfer the chuck roast to a large Dutch oven. Add the potatoes, carrots, onions, ancho chile powder, sherry, rosemary, thyme, chipotle peppers, and beef stock.

Step 5

Place the lid on the Dutch oven and transfer to the grill. Close the lid and braise until the meat is very tender, 4-5 hours.

Step 6

Serve with your favorite roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes and gravy. Enjoy!
