Recipe Instructions
1
Coat the chuck roast with olive oil then combine the spice rub mixture. Use half of the spice rub to season the meat and reserve the rest for the sauce.
2
Place the chuck roast on the smoker for about 4 hours at 275°F (135°C). Using a TP960 TempSpike Wireless Meat Thermometer, check that the meat has reached an internal temperature of 155°F (68°C).
3
While smoking the beef, saute onions, garlic, and dried chiles with butter in a large Dutch oven. Once the onions are softened, pour in your beef stock and ketchup; lower temperature and continue to simmer on low for hours.
4
Add the chuck roast to the pot and raise the heat to medium with the lid cracked slightly. Cook until the beef reaches about 205°F (96°C) and the beef feels tender.
5
Shred the beef and set it aside. Blend the sauce in the Dutch oven until smooth.
6
To assemble the sandwich, place shredded cheese in the hoagie roll and bake for about 5 minutes at 375°F (191°C) until the cheese is melted. Fill the sandwich with shredded beef and top with chopped onion and cilantro. Serve with sauce for dipping or dunk the entire sandwich and enjoy!
