Ingredients
  

  • 4 lbs chuck roast
  • 3 tbsp Your favorite beef seasoning
  • 1 24 ounce can of Honey Brown Lager 
  • 2 cups Water
  • 6 tbsp Unsalted butter

Korean BBQ Sauce

  • ¾ cup Tamari soy sauce
  • ¼ cup Sweet garlic chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 2-3 tbsp Gochujang 
  • 1 tbsp Rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch
  • ¼ cup Brown sugar
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp Ginger minced
  • 3 tbsp Water

Instructions
 

  • Cut the chuck roast into 1½–2-inch cubes.
  • Arrange the beef on a wire rack over an aluminum pan and season with the beef seasoning.
  • Preheat the smoker to 250°F and add apple wood chunks.
  • Pour 12 ounces of Honey Brown Lager and 1 cup of water into each aluminum pan.
  • Place the beef in the smoker. After 1½ hours, spritz with apple cider vinegar. Continue spritzing every 30–45 minutes.
  • When the beef reaches 165–170°F, transfer it to a separate pan with 1–1½ cups of the cooking liquid.
  • Add the butter, cover the pan with foil, and return it to the smoker for about 1 hour, or until the beef reaches approximately 205°F and is probe-tender.
  • Meanwhile, combine the tamari, sweet garlic chili sauce, sesame oil, gochujang, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook for 4–6 minutes.
  • Mix the cornstarch with the water and add it to the sauce. Cook for another 2–4 minutes, until thickened. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  • Once the beef is tender, pour the Korean BBQ sauce over the burnt ends and toss to coat.
  • Return the uncovered pan to the smoker for 30 minutes to set the glaze.
  • Remove from the smoker and serve.
