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
- 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.
- Stir together salt, granulated garlic, and pepper.
- 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.
- In a small bowl, stir together mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Brush mixture over entire roast and season liberally, covering all sides.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove roast to a large cutting board and tent with foil; rest for at least 30 minutes.
- 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.
