SMOKED DRY RUBBED BOTTOM ROUND ROAST

Steps:

• Remove the bottom round roast from the refrigerator 40 minutes prior to cooking it so it can come to room temperature.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, paprika, and salt. Using your hands, coat the entire roast with the mustard. Pat the dry rub into the layer of mustard to cover the roast. Set aside while you preheat your smoker.
• Fill the water bowl of your smoker half way and place the wood chips in the tray. Open the top vent. Preheat your smoker to 250°F.
• Place the roast directly on the smoker rack. If there is a probe thermometer attached, place it in one end of the roast. Smoke the beef for 90 minutes and check the internal temperature. You are looking for 130°F to 135°F. Continue to smoke for up to 1 hour and 45 minutes, checking the temperature every 20 minutes. Remember to check the water and wood chips every 45 minutes and replenish as needed.
• Remove the cooked bottom round roast to a clean cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Remember that the roast will continue to cook up to approximately 140°F. Allow the meat to rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. You can allow the roast to cool down completely if using for sandwiches.
• Slice the smoked bottom round roast as thinly as possible and use to make classic roast beef sandwiches. See the recipe that follows. Or, serve with your favorite side dishes.
