Ingredients  

For The Steak

  • 1 chuck roast 2.5-3 pounds
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp BBQ rub
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp honey

Instructions

  • Apply Worcestershire sauce to the chuck roast as a binder, then generously add the BBQ rub. Let it sit for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your smoker to 225F.
  • Smoke the chuck roast until it hits an internal temperature of 160F. This should take about 4 hours.
  • Wrap the roast in foil and return to the smoker. Continue to smoke until it hits 195F internal, which should take about an additional hour.
  • Remove the meat from the smoker and cut the chuck roast into 1" cubes, and place them in an aluminum sheet tray.
  • Add the BBQ sauce, honey, and butter to the sheet tray, and stir gently until well-combined.
  • Return the tray to the smoker and continue to cook for about two more hours, or until the cubes are nicely caramelized and tender.
  • Remove the poor man's burnt ends from the smoker, serve, and ENJOY!
