Looks fantastic, Jack. Some nice, soft buns, a little horseradish sauce and you've got a tasty meal going.

Thanks for the comment. I've been keeping this stuff stocked in the fridge almost since Day 1 with the Egg.

We've been doing a lot of French Dip lately on baguettes with melted Muenster cheese and Au Jus gravy, but you have inspired me sir. Tomorrow I'm going to run out and get some nice buns and some fresh horseradish, sour cream and dill weed for some beef sandwiches for lunch!

Well that's just super, cuz your idea about au jus and Muenster cheese has me reconsidering the horseradish! Excellent idea, too, Jack.

When I'm not busy forgetting how fast this stuff cooks I like to pull it at 110. What you see here was pulled at EXACTLY 110 degrees then straight to the fridge in a ziplock bag to rest overnight and chill for slicing.

Hammer,

This is just eye of round toast (two halves) seasoned ahead of time with Dr. BBQ "Eastern BBQ Rub". You can get excellent results with just salt and pepper or whatever your favorite rub is.

I cook this direct on the porcelain grid maintaining a dome temp of about 350 degrees until the internal temp of the meat is 110 degrees, turning the roasts every 10 minutes or so.

At 110 degrees internal, I pull it, slice each half in half again, steal about 1/2 pound to eat while it's still hot, then let the rest spend the night in the fridge in a ziplock bag.

The next day I have a bag of meat and lots of Au Jus gravy - the drippings from the meat that were captured in the ziplock bag, mixed with the spices from the rub. I set the Au Jus aside and slice the meat as thin as I can without having the slices disintegrate, then the whole pile of meat goes in the stainless steel bowl. I dribble all of the Au Jus gravy over the slices, then I toss the meat gently to make sure the gravy juices are evenly distributed, then the sliced meat and gravy go back into the ziplock bag. About three or four days later the bag is empty, and the process repeats itself.

Enjoy!
