Recipe notes
We used our whole grass-fed ribeye to make this tender roast in the smoker. It’s seasoned with a classic and simple Texas-style beef rub, and cooked low and slow for hours. Finish with smoked salt and serve with your favorite barbecue sides for lip-smacking results. Try it for your next backyard gathering—it is the perfect centerpiece for any occasion.
RECIPE Preparation
  1. Preheat a smoker to 250 degrees F at least 20 minutes before you’re ready to cook. Add 2 large handfuls of dry post oak chunks.
  2. Stir together salt, granulated garlic, and pepper.
  3. Prepare the roast: Using a sharp knife, trim excess fat from the top of the roast, if needed, down to about 1/4-inch thick.
  4. In a small bowl, stir together mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Brush mixture over entire roast and season liberally, covering all sides.
  5. If you wish, truss the roast with butcher’s twine to give it a more compact shape and ensure uniform cooking. Insert a probe thermometer into the center of the roast, avoiding any large pockets of fat.
  6. Place the roast directly on the grates, close the lid, and smoke until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F for medium-rare, or 145 degrees F for medium, about 3-4 hours.
  7. Remove roast to a large cutting board and tent with foil; rest for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Carve into slices of your desired thickness; we like a hefty slice of about 1/2-inch thick. Serve with smoked salt for finishing and your favorite barbecue sides.
