Title: Chuck and Sauce
Post by: GusRobin on June 09, 2013, 09:47:30 PM
Saw a number of posts on pulled chuckie so thought it would be something good to do today.

Started out cold smoking a 3lb chuck.

After the 2 hr cold smoke, rubbed with a simple ground pepper, paprika, and salt rub. Threw in the Bradley at 225* and another hr of smoke.

When it hit IT of 145*, I pulled it, put in a foil pan on a bed of chopped onions and peppers. I was going to wait until it hit 200* and make pulled chuck but it was getting late so I decided to pull at 185* and do sliced beef. I wasn't disappointed.

So while it was cooking I decided to make some sauce. I decided to experiment with a mixture of different recipes I had. Started out chopping some onions, jalapeno, habanero and sweet peppers.

Mixed in all the other ingredients and made 2 versions, 1 with the pepper sauce mixed in and 1 with more of a sweet taste.

Altogether made 5 1/2 qts, and I pressure canned 4 1/2.

Everything came out great, but the sauce needs a little tweaking. But I'll wait a bit, it usually tastes better after sitting a bit.

The sauce looks interesting Gus. If it ever stops raining up here. I have several jalapeno and habenaro pepper plants started and will be looking for sauce recipes. When they start producing peppers.

That looks absolutely perfect and cooked all the way through.  Makes me wish I was having something more than this granola bar for lunch right now.

Sauce looks killer Gus.  Looks like some pretty good heat?

not that much, that was one of my disappointments. But I made a small batch, so soon I can experiment again.
