Chuck Roast Burnt Ends
Share Post
I have heard this dish called “poor man” burnt ends because this cut of meat is so cheap. But…YOU GUUUUYS…Chuck Roast Burnt Ends aren’t ANYTHING like peasant food!
A wonderful friend of mine recently bought half a cow and gave me a brisket and chuck roast.
She, of course, got her fair share of these burnt ends in a pretty good trade/exchange 😉
Totally was not sure what I was going to do with this cut of meat.
But I thought you really can’t go wrong with burnt ends, which are NOT burnt at all.
They are a Kansas City BBQ favorite and really should just be called “meat candy”!
How to Make Chuck Roast Burnt Ends
Obviously starting with a chuck roast, this one is almost 4 pounds.
Trim most of the fat and cut it into 1 to 2 inch cubes.
Put the cubes into a bowl or gallon size plastic bag (for easy clean up, of course).
Add 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 cup brown sugar, and half cup BBQ seasoning (or any seasoning blend of choice), kosher salt, and pepper.
.
With the whole cup of brown sugar you can see why I call this “meat candy” 😉
Once everything is added just toss until evenly mixed.
.
It takes a few minutes and I didn’t want to waste the heat while placing them.
Once they were all on the grill grate, set the temperature to 225 degrees and let them go low and slow for 2 hours.
After 2 hours, remove them and place in a foil pan.
Again, foil pan for easy clean up (apparently I’m lazy 😉 ).
Don’t turn that smoker off just yet… we still have some smoking to do!
To the foil pan add a cup of BBQ sauce and 1/4 cup honey…
And 2 Tablespoons butter cut into smaller cubes.
Then cover the pan in foil and back onto the 225 degree smoker for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
If you need a moment to appreciate Chuck Roast Burnt Ends before digging in, I don’t judge 😉
Like…holy cow (literally…sorry, not sorry)…
Little nuggets of sweet, tender meat candy (yes, I said meat candy yet again, and while drooling).
Enjoy as is or put them on tacos or sandwiches or nachos or quesadillas or…the possibilities are endless!
