It rained all day yesterday so I started up the smoker bright and early this morning. I injected and marinated my brisket and my bottom round roast for about 24 hours. The bottom round was rubbed down with the italian seasoning shown in the picture and both were tossed on the smoker at 230*.



Here is the packer brisket all rubbed down and waiting for the WSM.



Here is the bottom round that I pulled off the smoker once it hit 130*. After resting for an hour I sliced it as thin as my slicer would allow.




And here are the finished goods:





The italian beef was great for dinner, and I will be eating brisket and italian beef for breakfast lunch and dinner all week.

Looks great, but where is the Giardiniera?
A must have for Ital. Chicago Beef sammies...


If you have never tried it then you really should give it a whirl, http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Hot-Ita...ra/Detail.aspx
the recipes I always use and it is sooooo good.

Next time you do some Italian beef whip up a batch (do the veggies to your liking but make sure to keep the cauliflower) and try it with the beef, such a great compliment or even in a bowl by itself.
 
nice looking beef and sandwich there.

The giardinara is a good rec. that hot oil, carrots, olives, and hot peppers really adds to the mix.
 
hmmm... I'm going to stop by the store and see if I can purchase some Giardiniera for when I reheat these. Otherwise I'll make sure I make some for the next run. Thanks for the heads up! These sandwiches are delicious though and the smoke in the au jus is spectacular. I'll be doing this again real soon. oneshot must have had a real nice slicer to cut up 25 lbs of this stuff.
