Equipment

  • Smoker

Method
 

  1. Season the beef roast with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Preheat your smoker to 225°F. Add the seasoned roast to the smoker and let smoke for 1 hour.
  3. Preheat your Dutch oven on the stovetop with the avocado oil. Add the onion and garlic and saute over medium heat for 4-5 minutes.
  4. Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot. Stir until combined, and bring to a simmer.
  5. Increase the temperature of the smoker to 325°F. Add the roast back to the pot and place the whole pot into the smoker.

  7. Shred and serve, or cut up chunks to serve. Serve with stir-fried vegetables and steamed rice.

Notes

This dish works well for families because the slow cooking process makes the meat very tender. You can prepare the sauce mixture ahead of time. This recipe is naturally gluten-free if you confirm your gochujang and soy sauce are certified gluten-free.
