Moose Chuck Roast Recipes

SLOW COOKER MOOSE ROAST

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides in the hot oil. Remove, and transfer to a slow cooker.
• Sprinkle onion soup mix over the roast, then pour in the apple juice. Cover and cook on MEDIUM for 6 to 8 hours, or until meat is very tender. Check occasionally to make sure there is sufficient liquid, and add more juice if necessary. Serve roast with juices, or thicken them for a tasty gravy.

MOOSE CHUCK ROAST

Steps:

• The chuck roast doesn't need trimming usually. If you see a thin silver membrane somewhere, trim it off, but leave the rest of the fat. Now sprinkle the salt evenly all over the meat and leave it in the fridge overnight. This is called dry brining, and it amplifies the meat's own flavor.
• Take the meat out of the fridge and sprinkle the black pepper evenly all over the meat, just like with the salt.
• Fire up your grill, prepare it for indirect grilling. Have it running at 250° F. Use the snake method if you're using a kettle grill, or even better, a Slow 'N Sear. Place the meat on the indirect side and close the lid. Add some wood chunks for smoking on the glowing embers. I used two maple wood chunks for this one, but apple, oak, pecan et.c. works just as well.
• Monitor the meat temperature and look at the bark forming on the surface. When the meat temp hits 70° C (160° F) it is time to wrap it. It usually takes 3 hours, but completely depends on grill temp and thickness of the meat. Wrapping is done to avoid drying it out. If you think it needs more bark, then leave it for another 30 minutes before wrapping. Use two large (and equal) size aluminum foil sheets. Wrap it snugly with the first, and then continue with the second. Place the meat back on the grill and continue cooking it until the internal temperature is 95° C (203° F).
• Remove it, wrap it in a thick towel (a faux cambro), and let it rest for 1 hour before serving. Now unwrap it save the juice that is collected in the foil, it has a wonderful flavor. Pour it back over the sliced meat and serve.

BBQ CHUCK ROAST

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix barbeque sauce, teriyaki sauce, beer, garlic, ginger, onion, black pepper, and salt. Place the roast into the marinade, cover and refrigerate for six hours, turning often.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for indirect heat. Remove the roast from the marinade, and pour the marinade into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and cook for 5 minutes. Set aside for use as a basting sauce.
• Thread the roast onto a rotating barbecue spit above indirect heat. Cook the roast for two hours, or until the internal temperature of the roast is at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Baste often during the last hour with reserved marinade.
