Need Beef Ideas

[Still Learnin]

Ok, I'm trying to think of something beef to smoke for several people that'll also provide some leftovers. I want to try something new but can't think of anything.

I don't want to brisket or a chuck roast. Tri tip is hard to find, but I might could. Any ideas? I don't want a long and arduous prep process (because I'm feeling lazy).

Thanks.

Have you done a smoked meat loaf?

[Willy]

Plus one on meatloaf!

[bbqoaf]

Meat loaf is so good on the Q.

[lschweig]

Meatloaf is always a good choice.

[Huskee]

By not wanting chuck roast, do you mean as pulled beef, or a sliced roast?

Prime rib, or strip loin prepared in the same fashion, is always popular as is the cheaper version of both- the eye of round.

Flank steak cooked hot & fast and sliced thin and used in sandwiches or fajitas is another tasty idea.

[bbqoaf]

Yes, flank steak is amazing, love it with an aggressive marinade and seared hot and fast.

Depending on what you mean by "several people", the recent thread on shoulder clod looks like a fun cook.

[bbqoaf]

Yes, as HorseDoctor said, maybe try a beef clod, I did one for super bowl and it was great:

beef ribs?

[DeusDingo]

that sounds like a challenge TheCountofQ

[TheCountofQ]

DeusDingo, Haha. Not a challenge. Maybe just bragging a bit. :-) Though Shorties themselves are probably more the cause than me. Still, whole slabs do require a bit of prep, trimming hard fat and such. They also shrink a lot, & have much bone, which makes them an expensive cut.

[DeusDingo]

yeah it is expensive in the end. i just try to make so much that they can't all get eaten! i love me some BBQ leftovers

[lschweig]

Short ribs

[tbob4]

Since you said tri-tip, even if it's hard to find, it's hard to beat.

[Still Learnin]

Finally found a beef clod so I'm going to give that a run.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Need to try beef ribs sometime soon too.

Next time pick up a whole sirloin when they go on sale and try this recipe: http://amazingribs.com/recipes/beef/..._pit_beef.html

This is a big hit with my family.
