I picked up a nice American Wagyu chuck roast and have been trying to decide what to do with it. I don't want to do a pot roast or anything like that. Too much fat for that type of cook. I have smoked a couple chuckies in the past but have never loved the outcome (mostly user error) so I don't want to just smoke it like I would a brisket.
So my plan is to use it for shredded beef tacos. Here is what I plan on doing:
1. Rub with a standard beef rub with maybe some hot chili powder included
2. Smoke for 3-4 hours to get some smoke flavor on it
3. Cover it with some carne asada marinade (this one is my go-to I have used with skirt steak before: https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/...ipe-kenji.html ), put it in a foil pan, add some beef broth for extra moisture, and cover tightly.
4. Continue to cook until it shreds.
I would be hoping for some super moist and succulent shredded beef with a ton of flavor. Any thoughts on doing a chuck like this? What would you do differently?
