Beef shoulder roast

Mayberry Smoker · August 2007

We picked up a shoulder roast on sale today, what's a good way to fix it. We were thinking pot roast with potatoes and carrots, will this cut work for that, if so does anyone have a good recipe for pot roast. Thanks for the help.

Mayberry Smoker,[p]Citrus Roast[p]+ Season meat, marinate for no more than 2 hours in apple cider & pineapple juice, chopped garlic. [Don't marinate with citrus too long, or it begins to "cook" the meat, and makes the meat mushy and gray]
+ Heat cast iron pot, splash in a little OO -- bring to light smoke.
+ Sear all sides of meat [can be done direct over high heat, but I like to create lots of frond on the bottom of the pot]
+ Deglaze with some red wine, or with apple cider. You can also deglaze with marinade
+ cover bottom of pot with onion slices & garlic slices
+ put in roast
+ add lots of potatoes, carrots, rutabaga, turnip... whatever root veggies floats your boat... cut large pieces up -- not too small! Veggies should fill in the sides of the meat, and cover the top of the meat. Season veggies
+ add apple cider & pineapple juice to nearly cover the meat.
+ Add onion chunks to the top...[p]Roast, covered, indirect @250 - 300 for up to 4+ hours.[p]~ Broc[p]

Mayberry Smoker,
If it's a "Shoulder Muscle", I like it best cooked as a roast.
You can do a sear, off for 20 then roast at 400 till done.[p]It has a vein of gristle running right through the middle and if I was good at carving up beef I'd make two steaks out of it. But I'm not so I don't (tho I've tried and made a mess)[p]It is probably one of the cheapest cuts of meat ever, but makes a delicious, tender roast beef.
