Tender Smoked & Braised Chuck Roast 

We've added a little ranch twist to this hearty American family classic!

**NOTE: Though we used a chuck roast in this recipe/video, any roast will work the same in it's place.**

Prep Time: 15 Minutes

Cook Time: 6 Hours

Difficulty: 2.5 out of 5 

Ingredients:

• 3-4 lb Chuck Roast (any roast)
• 5 small red bliss potatoes, halved (2 cups)
• 7 Full Carrots, cut into 2-inch slices (2 cups)
• 1 large pearl onion, peeled (2 cups)
• 2 cups beef stock

STEP 1: Allow Chuck Roast (3-4lbs) to come to room temperature. Season: S&P is all that is needed. Can add Garlic Powder and Onion Powder.

 

STEP 2: When ready to cook set smoker to 225°F and smoke for 1-1.5 hours.

 

STEP 3: Transfer smoked Chuck Roast to Dutch oven (or our favorite is the Lodge Cast Iron Covered Deep Skillet) and add halved potatoes, cut carrots, peeled onion and beef stock.

 

STEP 4: Place lid on Dutch Oven or large cast iron deep skillet. Braise roast for 4-5 hours at 275F (in smoker or oven) or until meat is very tender.

 

STEP 5: Serve with your favorite roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes and gravy! Enjoy!
