Ingredients
2-3 lbs of beef roast, chuck or round preferred
½ stick of salted butter, sliced
¼ cup light brown sugar
½ cup brewed coffee or espresso
-
Ancho Espresso rub
-
SPG Rub
Directions
Preheat smoker to 275 degrees.
Cut the beef roast into 1”-2” cubes. Then toss the beef in SPG and Ancho Espresso rub to coat well.
Place the beef directly on the smoker or on a wire baking rack and cook for 30-45 minutes until the seasoning is well tacked onto the meat and bark is forming around the edges.
Place beef cubes in disposable aluminum pan or baking dish and add coffee to the pan. If the coffee does not come up about ⅓ of the way up the cubes, add some beef stock or water to the pan as well.
Top with butter slices and brown sugar, then back on the smoker, covered for 1 - 1½ hours until beef is tender and falls apart with gentle pressure.
Let the burnt ends rest for 5-10 minutes, then dig in!
