Ingredients
- 3 Pounds - Chuck Beef Roast
- 3 Tbsps - Yellow Mustard
- 1 Tbsp - Salt
- ½ Tbsps - Ground Black Pepper
- 1 Tbsp - Garlic Powder
- 1 Tbsp - Onion Powder
- 1 Tsp - Celery Seeds
- 1 Tsp - Paprika
- 4 Tbsps - Salted Butter
- 1 Cup - BBQ Sauce
- ⅓ Cups - Light Brown Sugar
Instructions
- Place the chuck roast on a plate, then pat dry with a paper towel.
- Coat the roast with mustard, set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, mix together the dry rub ingredients, salt, ground pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, celery seeds, and paprika.
- Sprinkle the rub over the roast and pat down into the roast to fully coat. Be sure to cover all sides.
- Place in a plate or tray, it's best to wrap in an airtight container. This can be done with a 9x13 pan, wrapped with foil or plastic wrap.
- Let it rest in the fridge overnight or at least 12 hours.
- Prepare for 8+ hours of cooking time.
- Bring the grill to 250*F, this can be done with a charcoal smoker or a pellet grill.
- Once the temperature has been reached, place the chuck roast on the grill, close the cover and let it cook until it reaches about 150-160*F. This normally takes about 4 hours, but it's best to check the temperature throughout the cooking time.
- Once the temperature is reached, cut aluminum foil to wrap around the roast.
- Place the roast on top of the foil, then brush it with bbq sauce (pour about 1/4 cup of the bbq sauce into a small dish and brush with this, then discard) Add the diced butter right on top.
- Wrap up the chuck roast tightly then place it back on the grill/smoker.
- Continue to cook now until the internal temperature reaches at least 190-205*F.
- Once this temperature has been reached, carefully remove and let it rest on a cutting board for about 30 minutes.
- While the meat is resting, increase the temperature of the smoker or grill to 350*F.
- Unwrap the roast carefully and dispose or any liquid in the foil. Cut it into bite size pieces about 3/4inch cubes.
- Place it in an aluminum pan.
- Pour the remaining bbq sauce on and sprinkle with brown sugar.
- Very carefully mix this in, the meat will be tender so mix carefully.
- Once the smoker or grill has reached 350*F, place the foil pan back on the grill.
- Cook for an additional 30-40 minutes.
- Remove and Serve.
