Seasoning the Chuck Roasts
At 4:16 in
Poor Man's Brisket! Mouth watering Smokey you gotta see!
What happens here
Begin by seasoning the chuck roasts. First, sprinkle coarse-grain salt lightly over all surfaces of the meat. Salt helps pull moisture from the meat's surface, aiding in rub adherence. After salting, dust all sides of the roasts with black pepper. For additional flavor, apply your preferred rubs. The presenter uses '3 Beef Smokin' Chipotle Rub' and 'Town & Country Market Prime Rib Steak Seasoning', noting their sodium content. He also suggests using 'McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Steak Seasoning' but advises using it lightly due to its sodium levels. Ensure even coating on all sides. Allow the seasoned roasts to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
Goal: Apply a base layer of salt and pepper, followed by chosen rubs, to all surfaces of the chuck roasts.
