Poor Man’s Quick Burnt Ends

If you love burnt ends and your short on time or money, you have to try this recipe! It’s a hit at our family table!

Here’s what you need:

2 1/2 - 3 pound Chuck Roast

Bo B Q Brisket Rub

1/2 Can of Beer

1/3 - 1/2 cup Brown sugar

1/3 cup of your favorite bbq sauce

Foil Roasting Pan

Aluminum Foil

Directions:

1. We’re gonna start by heating up our smoker to 350 degrees. We love to use hickory wood but cherrywood works well too.

2. Next we need to cut the roast into 2” cubes. This is what cuts down our cook time and gives us a more even smoke flavor!

3. Now we want to season those ends with Bo B Q Brisket Rub. Give the tops of them a medium coating and mix the ends around by hand to allow the rub to get on all sides.

4. Now let’s head out to the smoker! We can place the ends on the rack but I like to use a wire basket to keep them upright and to prevent them from falling through as they shrink. Close the smoker and cook until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 165 (30-45 minutes).

5. Once they reach 165, we want to remove from the smoker, place them in our foil roasting pan with our beer and cover with foil.

6. Return to the smoker and cook until we reach an internal temperature of 210 (about 30 minutes).

7. Remove the pan from the smoker and drain off the beer and juices. Now it’s time to sweeten these things up!

8. Add enough barbecue sauce to coat the ends (about 1/3 cup) and sprinkle on the brown sugar. Toss to coat and return ends to the wire basket.

9. Place the ends back in the smoker and cook until glazed over (about 10-15 minutes). Remove and enjoy!
