Using USDA Choice Chuck Roast:
To make the best-smoked chuck roast skewers, you should use USDA choice chuck roast. This cut of beef is known for its tenderness and rich flavor. Cut the chuck roast into 1.5-inch cubes. This size is perfect for skewering and will cook evenly.
Seasoning the Beef:
Once you have your beef cubes, season them with Pit Barrel Cooker Beef and Game Pit Rub. This rub is specially formulated to complement the beef’s natural flavor and add additional smokey and spice notes. Coat the beef pieces thoroughly with the seasoning rub and let them rest for at least 30 minutes. This step will help the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Building Skewers:
After seasoning the beef, it’s time to assemble your skewers. Use skewers of appropriate length and alternate onion slices with the beef cubes. You can also add peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, or other vegetables of your choice if desired. This step adds more texture and flavor to your smoked chuck roast skewers.
Cooking Process:
Now that the skewers are ready, it’s time to cook them on a Pit Barrel Cooker. First, create a well in the center of the Pit Barrel Cooker using a number 10 can. Light the charcoal in the steel basket and then place it at the edge of the cooker. As the charcoal heats up, the meat will start to cook slowly. Keep an eye on the temperature, and add more fuel as required. Aim for 150+ degrees Fahrenheit, as this will ensure that the beef is tender and juicy. The cooking process takes several hours, so it’s best to keep an eye on the temperature regularly.
Cooking Potatoes on a Skewer:
If you want a complete meal, you can also prepare potatoes on a skewer. Cut small potatoes into halves or quarters and season with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Skewer the potatoes and cook them with the beef. When the potatoes are soft and cooked through, remove them from the skewer and serve hot.
