BALTIMORE BEEF BAD BOY

Steps:

• Combine the spices for the meat in a resealable 1-gallon plastic bag and shake to mix thoroughly. Add 1 piece of meat, shake it around in the bag, remove it and repeat with the second piece of meat. Add the first piece back to the bag, seal and marinate as long as you can in the refrigerator -- 24 to 48 hours is recommended. But if you can't wait, just go for it. It won't be as over-the-top, but it will still be really good.
• Make the sour cream-horseradish sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, horseradish, garlic, sea salt, and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
• Twenty minutes before you plan on grilling, remove the meat from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature. Preheat a grill or a large grill pan to high.
• Grill the meat for 10 to 15 minutes (7 1/2 minutes per side), or until desired doneness. (It's best at medium rare, about 140 degrees F or 145 degrees F.) Set the meat aside, cover and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Slice the meat paper-thin with a knife or a countertop deli slicer. Divide the meat among 8 bread slices, spread some sour cream-horseradish sauce on each one, then add a few rings of onion slices and top with the rest of the bread.

• Start a charcoal fire in your pit, creating a 2 zone fire. When the coals have ashed over, put the beef directly on the grill over the hot coals. Turn the beef as it cooks every few minutes (about 5 minutes on each side) until the beef has developed a good char all over. Check the beefs internal temperature.
• Move the beef to the cool side of the pit and cover the grill. Set the dampers to run a pit temperature of 225-250 degrees F. Cook the pit beef, rotating occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 115-120 degrees F. Remove the round of beef from the pit and let it rest for 20 minutes before slicing thinly. Make sure you slice against the grain to get the thinnest slices

MARYLAND STYLE PIT BEEF

Steps:

• Beef Injection Mix Beef broth, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper and Worcestershire sauce together and stir well Inject Roast with as much as you can get into it - approx 2-2.5 cups went into my 5lbs Pit Beef Mix the dry rub ingredients together (salt, pepper, garlic powder and chili powder) and rub it in all over the roast. Allow to sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or as much as overnight) For this recipe I used my UDS (Ugly Drum Smoker) but heated it up to about 300 and didn't add any smoke wood so basically it became a big oven. Put the meat in and used a Maverick ET-732 meat thermometer to keep tabs on the temp. Pulled it off at 135 degrees. (Note: 135 was sure done enough - should try pulling at 130 next time) Immediately wrapped the roast in foil for about 30-60 minutes to rest and then sliced it thin on the my slicer. For a true Maryland taste add thin sliced onions and horseradish
