Rump roast tacos

[Smilner]

Hey, BBQ buddies, happy Memorial Day weekend! May your cooks go great!

Got this 3# rump roast I want to cook and shred for some tacos.

what’s your methods?

I have never done one,, you may want to check on line if nobody here can give you an assist. As far as shredding I use my counter mixer with the batter beater attachment. As long as your meat is tender it should shred that way. Let us know your results so that we can learn something.

Rump roast is not very tender. My wife uses round and cooks in the instant pot with onions, garlic, Mexican oregano, chipotles in adobo, salt, pepper, and some beef broth. It only takes about an hour at high and makes great shredded beef.

Nice, tacos is always a winner! I’m not sure rump roast is the way to go though. In my opinion it’s too lean and not very shreddable, unless you nuke it in a crock pot or similar. If I were you I’d save it for a nice smoked roast beef cook, and instead use meat from the front quarter of the cow.

I swapped out the rump roast for a chuck roast. That outta be good, right?

Is this something I would want to throw on the smoker for a few hours then chunk it up and throw in a Dutch oven with liquid and seasoning and finish off?

Nice! Yes, and yes 👍

Sous vide may be the best route.
