Roast Beef French Dip

in EggHead Forum
Dry brined the roast for 2 days in the fridge. Smoked it on the egg at 275 for about 2 hours until it hit 130 internal and then I rested it for about 15 min while I brought the egg up to give the outside a sear. 

At jus was made yesterday with beef stock, celery, onion, carrot, garlic, and better than bullion base. 

The French dip had thin sliced beef piled up on a toasted French roll from Costco with provolone cheese. It was very good but the beef could have been sliced thinner. I need to consider getting a slicer.

    Not trying to spend your money, But a meat slicer is a game changer. They're annoying to clean and store, but you can't replicate it when doing stuff like the above. Bacon as well 😁

    Thing of beauty right there with that finish!

    Wow, that looks incredible! Love the smoke ring on the roast. The jus and provolone on the French roll must've been a perfect combo. Yeah, a slicer would definitely help with getting those thin slices. Nice job!

    I might end up with a new Berkel slicer because of this thread…

    Ya, the French bread was not great. I need to try baking some bread this fall. Now, I did pick up some onion rolls that are amazing with cold roast beef and horseradish sauce.

    @Ragingirishman2 - @ColbyLang has the inside track on bread as in a personal commitment.   I'm sure he can either fix you up or steer you in the right direction.

    Huge onion roll fan with a beef sandwich. I’m sure there’s a local baker around you. You’d be surprised what they’ll sell ya right off of the line. Dutch crunch makes a great sandwich as well
