Common Questions 

What is the best way to cut thin pieces of this roast recipe? 

Making a roast like this means that you won't have to cut it correctly so that you don't have any of the au jus going to waste. Grab a cutting board and a sharp knife. The key to making thin slices is to cut against the grain after the meat has cooled. The low temperature means that the juices have been released internally, and cutting it thinly will give you moist and tender bites of meat. 

You can use a sharp knife to make thin slices that you can then use to make a French dip sandwich or pair with some of your favorite side dishes. 

Can I use this smoking method with all cuts of meat? 

This process works well on rump roast, pot roast, eye of round roast, top round roast, and other types and cuts of meat. Using an electric smoker or pellet smoker both work well. 

Do I need to wrap this in aluminum foil on the smoke rack?

No, there is no requirement to do this, but you will see that a lot of people do. The reason for this is that it can help to store the juices inside the meat and have it smoking in its own juice rather than have it drip down into the smoker. 

There is also the debate, however, that adding a layer of aluminum foil will block some of the smoky flavors from going into the meat. Do what you feel is best when it comes to this cooking option. 

How do I store leftovers? 

There are options when it comes to leftover storage. You can slice and store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge or even store them in the freezer for later. 

Just be careful that when you reheat the leftovers, you do so slowly so that you don't overcook the meat. You can reheat at a low temperature in the oven so that the meal slices retain moisture.
