Equipment

  • Pellet smoker or charcoal grill
  • Wood chips (hickory recommended)
  • Meat thermometer

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 pound eye of round roast beef
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Thin coat of yellow mustard

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your pellet smoker or charcoal grill to 225 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar to make the dry rub.
  • Coat the entire surface of the roast with a thin coat of yellow mustard.
  • Rub the dry rub all over the roast, making sure to get all sides and edges.
  • Place the roast on the grill grates and add your wood chips.
  • Smoke the roast for 3-4 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F (medium-rare).
  • Remove the roast from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Notes

  • For best results, let the roast come to room temperature before smoking.
  • You can wet brine the roast for 8-12 hours before smoking for even more flavor and tenderness.
  • To remove the silver skin, use a sharp knife and make a shallow cut between the silver skin and the meat, then use a paper towel to pull it off.
  • If using a charcoal grill, use indirect heat by placing the hot coals on one side and the roast on the other side.
  • The roast will continue to cook as it rests, so take it off the grill at 130 degrees F for a medium-rare roast.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
