Pit Beef

elzbth

Egged a chuck roast today and though it didn't turn out as well as I would have liked, it was good. Many factors - the roast was probably too lean, I egged direct (should have gone indirect), and I just got in too big of a hurry! Alas - we will have leftovers and I've doctored it up a bit so I think it'll be good.

The roast - rubbed with DP Red Eye:


Sauced with Bone Su@kin sauce mixture that included a a couple or 4 tablespoon of homemade peach jam.



Slathered and sliced in small pieces - ended up adding beef broth to the leftovers to juice it up a bit....

That aint "Pit beef" in these parts...not that it looks bad or anything..but it's not "Baltimore" or delmarva pit beef

looks good from here , I'll accept your pit beef as ALABAMA PIT BEEF. Wish I had a plate of it right now . Good job Elizabeth I hope you enjoy it friend.

That looks delicious! Great bark. I keep meaning to do pit beef so I can thinly slice and have sandwich meat for the week.. gotta try this soon!

Mr Holloway

Looks mighty tasty Elizabeth. I haven't tried pit beef yet, but I am about to put a brisket on. Pork is still my fav., but I've been craving beef for a week or two. This post pushed me over the edge!

i'm in no position to judge what makes it pit beef.

I do however think that sandwich looks mighty tasty

Looks awesome Elizabeth, even if it didn't pass the "pit beef" police.

Thanks for the kind words!

Honestly, I know I could have done a better job - I was in a hurry, and didn't have the proper set up. It was okay yesterday - but today it was GREAT. Now if I can just remember all the stuff I added to the sauce... For Alabama Pit Beef, it was quite good.

I will try this again after the holidays - it's good. It was tender enough, yet not the point of falling apart. Where there's a will there's a way - thanks for looking.

elzbth

Thank you - it's much better today. I guess the overnight "juicing" was a good thing. I'll choose a better cut of beef next time and post pics of the end result. For now, I'm enjoying a BBQ Pit Beef Sandwich - Alabama style!

elzbth

Much more edible on the second day, that's for sure. I had fun with it - don't get too wound up about failures and boo boo's - thanks for looking!

elzbth

Thanks! I hope your brisket is good beyond your wildest dreams....

Love the hat, cowboy! Hey, we liked it - and we'll do it again, and (shhhhh) we'll probably call it pit beef!

elzbth

You are so kind.... It was good - and life is good! And I'll make this again.

I honestly meant to say nothin negative...but from reading the other replies, they are either attacking me or misunderstood my reply...I sincerely hope you didn't take my reply in any negative meaning, as that was certainly not my intent..

Elizabeth, the beef looks yummy in the pics. I think I learn something every time I cook.

elzbth

Not in the least - it's all good. I'm very sincere when I say this - it's a most wonderful time of the year. This forum has been good to/for me. If you have some tips to help me on the next roast, I am all ears!

elzbth

I know what you mean about learning every time you cook - it's that way for me too. Actually, most of the things I've learned in life have been by screwing something up! :woohoo: This was not my best cook - or at least that's what I thought yesterday. Today, it tasted much better.....Thanks for the encouragement. (and the email)..

My experience with pit beef is all on my website...and it is a magical thing..and I'm sure yours was a wonderful beef experience as well
