Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 lb Chuck Roast
  • 2 tbsp BBQ seasoning
  • 1/4 cup Canola Oil
  • 1 stick Butter sliced
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 1/4 cup Bbq sauce

Instructions
 

  • Cube your chuck roast into 2” size cubes and place in a bowl.
    3-4 lb Chuck Roast
  • Lather with canola oil and then season generously with Historic BBQ Seasoning or your favorite BBQ seasoning.
    2 tbsp BBQ seasoning, 1/4 cup Canola Oil
  • Place the cubes onto a baking tray with about ½” separation between each cube.
  • Preheat Traeger to 250F.
  • Place the beef onto the smoker to cook for 1-2 hrs or until internal temperature is 165º. Use an instant read meat thermomer to check the temperature. Be sure to remove the cubes from the smoker and let them rest for a few minutes before testing. They tend to test hotter when they are in the smoker. They’ll begin to soften and develop a good outside bark.
  • When cubes are 165º internal temperature, move to an aluminum pan. Top with pats of butter and drizzle honey over the top. Cover with aluminum foil.
    1 stick Butter, 2 tbsp Honey
  • Place tray in the smoker for an hour. Open foil and add BBQ sauce. Replace foil and smoke and additional 1-2 hours until the temperature of the meat reaches internal temp of 205°F degrees and is very tender. Again - remove foil pan from the Traeger before testing temperature.
    1/4 cup Bbq sauce
  • When meat reaches 205º internal temperature, remove tray from the smoker. Cover the meat back up and let rest for 30 mins before serving.
