Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds chuck roast cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 3 tablespoons Soul Dust soul food seasoning or your favorite BBQ seasoning
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
- ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat smoker for indirect grilling at 275°F, using pecan or oak wood for smoke flavor.
- Slather chuck roast cubes with yellow mustard, ensuring an even coating. Liberally season all sides with soul food seasoning or your preferred BBQ seasoning.
- Place seasoned cubes on a wire rack. Once smoker is up to temperature, carefully place wire rack on smoker and close lid. Smoke until roast achieves desired color and bark, about 1.5 hours. Flip halfway through.
- Remove meat from smoker and transfer to a foil baking pan. Sprinkle ¼ cup of brown sugar over cubes, add unsalted butter, and drizzle with BBQ sauce. Gently toss cubes to ensure they are evenly coated in the sauce mixture.
- Cover pan with foil and return it to the grill. Continue smoking until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 205°F, about another 1.5 hours.
- Once meat reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the smoker and uncover the pan. Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar and BBQ sauce over cubes. Stir gently to incorporate everything well. Return pan to the grill for a few more minutes.
- Serve poor man's burnt ends hot and enjoy them sandwiched between white bread or buns with pickles and onion.
