    Baltimore pit beef sammich question

    I'm planning to make Meathead's Baltimore Pit Beef Sandwiches on Sunday.

    Of course, the possibility exists that the roast will be at temp early, and, if that happens, I plan to hold it in a faux cambro.

    The question is, do I do the searing on the gas grill BEFORE or AFTER it has been held in the cambro?

    Opinions?

    If you faux cambro it there's the high possibility it will overcook. I suggest searing it at the end, but obviously try to time it so that it can be eaten right after searing so you don't risk having to hold it and overcook it!

      I think a lot depends on how you like the beef for your sandwiches. If you know that you are going to use the faux cambro and like your meat rare to medium rare I would follow MH's recipe and reverse sear but pull the meat at a lower temp than called for. This would allow for any later rise in temp as suggested by Huskee. After all, you can always heat the meat up but you can't uncook it. Personally I like my pitt beef done medium and really don't worry about a possible rising temp in the cambro. I think you are really going to like your pitt beef sammies.

        Therein lies the problem.... The recipe says that a five pound piece of meat will take "4-6 hours" to get to temperature. That's a two hour window and that's what prompted my question.

        Ahhh, the problems of a BBQ cook. I guess I could have worse problems.

          I would be shooting for medium as well, so I guess the cambro will be ok, followed by the sear before serving.

          And I think you are right - I will enjoy them!
