Need some roast beef this weekend.....

So on goes the beef rubbed with DP red eye express and oak smoke. Will pull it off once it hits 128-129F internal.
One is 5.5 lbs and the other at 7.1 lbs.
I will slice it once chilled in the fridge - probably tomorrow night. 
Fresh horseradish is in the fridge ready to go.

    @NorthPilot06 I make roast beef fairly regularly and I never get tired of it. It should turn out something like this prior cook.  It is an easy fun cook that always gets rave reviews. 

    Looks phenomenal!  And a good excuse to buy a meat slicer...  ;)

    @Sea2Ski what cut of meat do you find works best for the roast beef?

    Depends on the situation. For fancy meals (mother’s day, christening’s, a major milestone birthday) I may use a tenderloin if only for a few people.  I have done ribeye roast, sirloin roast, dry-aged ribeye... you name it, but I usually go with the cheaper cut of the bottom round. With that being said, I usually stay away from the eye round (which is usually separated from the rest anyway.) For even cooking, look for a center cut of the bottom round if possible. The more square the better, but if some like rare and some like well, tapered is what you are after. 
    Since you are probably going to want to slice it thin, the tenderness of the cut is not that important. I love my small slicer. Light, portable, sharp as hell and it does everything I want it to do - including paper thin roast beef.

    It is a easy cook that is very rewarding. Give it a try! Cook into slow so it is evenly cooked throughout, and remember carryover cooking. And finally, the rub is not that critical. You can really pack it on since the “body” to “rubbed surface area” ratio is very small.

    @Griffin I really did not time it as I go by temp, but I would say 2.5 - 3 hours at 225F’ish dome temp.

    @marysvilleksegghead no do not. I just rub it and put it on the egg.  

    Here it is mid way through slicing   When I am done slicing, I pour that juice on top of what was sliced

    Thank you 
    For me personally, it is just a hair overdone, but literally only by 2-3 degrees.  I will still happily eat it.

    I'd say it was nailed! ....I have found SV with smoke is a great way to get good roast beef for slicing like this as well

    I have not ever done it SV, but thought about it. 
    Do you smoke it for an hour or so, then put in SV?  What is your process?

    Smoke first at a very low temp then SV @ desired temp I think I did 18-24 hours @135 ...like butter..... my preferred is SV then a quick Pan or Egg Sear
