Ingredients

  1. whole beef leg (steamship round) - 1
  2. beef broth - watch the video to see (fortified, for injection)
  3. seasoning mix - watch the video to see (for beef)
  4. applewood chips - watch the video to see (for smoking)
  5. honey - watch the video to see
  6. chimichurri sauce - watch the video to see (homemade)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef Leg: Trim the fat cap on the beef leg for better flavor penetration. Score the remaining fat in a diamond pattern to allow seasonings to penetrate deeper.
  2. Inject and Season: Inject the beef leg with fortified beef broth to enhance its flavor and moisture. Season heavily with your choice of beef seasoning mix, ensuring it's well-patted into the meat.
  3. Smoke the Beef Leg: Using hooks, place the beef leg on the smoker. Smoke over applewood at a controlled temperature for about 5 hours.
  4. Monitor and Rescue: Monitor the smoking process closely. In case of any grill malfunctions or excessive flames, carefully remove the beef leg to prevent burning.
  5. Serve with Honey Chimichurri: Once smoked to medium-rare perfection and rested, cover the beef leg in a homemade honey chimichurri sauce before slicing. Serve the juicy slices immediately.
