Qview: Smoked Chuckie Roll w/asparagus,roasted n marinated veggies

[mauismokemeats]

Last night I just had to smoke something after checking out cajonsmokes pictures.

So I stopped at the local market, got a 1 1/2-2 lb chuck steak, fresh asparagus, roasted marinated red bell peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, some cheese and got busy. It was late around 8:00 pm. so just got the veggies already roasted and marinated, on any given day I'll do these my self but worked great in a pinch. A few pics not so clear but here goes.


Here's the ingredients.



Pounded the chuckie to 1/8"



Seasoned with my mixture of spices, layed down some cleaned asparagus



Then some roasted and marinated red bell peppers



Top of that goes the roasted and marinated tomatoes



Then the marinated mushrooms



smotherd on some mozzarella and parmessan cheese



Rolled it all up, then rolled on some bacon





I then rolled it in some plastic wrap to get it nice and tight



While prepping the chuckie I got the smoker going, nice, got the propane smoker up to temps in 1/2 hour, set it to 220, on goes the chuckie I also had a water pan under the chuckie for some moisture





Got to enjoy the TBS and the view of Las Vegas from my back yard









2 1/2 hours and this baby was done, I pulled it out at 150





Boy was I surprised how juicy this turned out. the marinated veggies just exploded with flavor, it basically was marinated in italian style dressing, some vinegar, water, herbs, garlic etc. but that combo was great, you got the smokey bacon and beef with some cheese action and the veggies added a good juicy flavor burst, really nice.









Enjoyed a nice dinner, alittle late but I was on a mission to do smoke something for dinner. I put the chuckie roll in the smoker at 8:45 and pulled it out at 11:15, Thanks for checking it out.

I have never thought of pounding a steak flat before.

Beauty.Nice filling in that chuckie roll.

Wow is right! That's thinking outside the box.

for a great Idea that others, Namely Me, can steal and tell folks they came up with it themselves. I have got to try that with some mushrooms, onions a little butter and minced garlic..... I am drooling just thinking about it.

Haa!, take all the ideas you can, that's what this is all about, sheeze I've learned alot from this forum and if I can give back it's all good.

I brought some for our office lunch today, and it's a hit, heat it up and the office smells great like a BBQ house

, clients come in and pay rents and asking where's the BBQ, smells great.

Just think I did this with chuck, and it was great and think what a pounded peice of a more tender cut of meat will do.

We have luau's in Hawaii and one of the main dishes is a lau lau which is hawaiian spinach (taro leaf)wrapped around pork, chicken and beef and cooked in the ground imu smoke/steam kinda cooking and buried. So on that note I'll make a reverse roll of that, flat the beef, port or chicken and stuff it with the hawaiian spinach, add extra? fish, shrimp? and smoke it.

How about a chicken cort en blue ( stuffed chicken with ham and cheese) smoke that baby up, would be great.

Have fun with this, lot's of possibilities to get creative with.
