Last summer my friend Lisa took me to this fabulous restaurant that served burnt brisket ends. I had never heard of those but I was in heaven. I love when meat gets that caramelized crusty layer of goodness. Since my hubby has become a amaster smoker, I decided to try to recreate it with this low carb smoked burnt ends recipe. We LOVED it! My husband was mad we only made one roast. Even as I type this I am craving it again.
Can you make this smoked meat without a smoker?
I have never tried this but I think you can achieve this if you cook the meat at a very low temperature (250 degrees F) for 4 to 5 hours. I would also use a bit of liquid smoke to get that smokey flavor. Or you can cook it in the oven and then throw it on the grill to get that smokey flavor. Here is an article to give you some ideas.
How to make smoked burnt ends recipe
Below you can see the steps to make this smoked roast. The basics of the recipe are:
- Mix the spices and rub into a chuck roast. Get all the nooks and crannies but only use half of the rub.
- Smoke until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F.
- Cut the roast up into 1 inch pieces of meat and mix in the the rest of the spices.
- Place on an aluminum pan and smoke for another hour or so.
What to serve with these smoked burnt ends with
When I originally had this at the restaurant, it was a smoked brisket and they served on a salad with homemade potato like croutons. That was an awesome salad but the potato croutons were not low carb obviously. So I just ate this meat on top of a garden salad and topped it with some creamy dressing. Seriously good stuff here.
My hubby and son just ate it as is. The bad part is that everyone picks at them while you are getting dinner on the table because they are so easy to grab and pop in your mouth. You can also serve these with a low carb bbq sauce if you like and maybe a coleslaw for dinner. These would make a great appetizer too I think. I’m going to have to try that for football season!
Well I hope you like these smoked burnt ends as much as my family did. I wish we would have made 2 roasts but I’m not sure how it would taste the next day since we didn’t have any leftovers. I’ll pop back in to this post and let you know the next time we make it. The nutritional information for one serving is:*
625 cals / 37.2g fat / 9g carbs / 6.5g fiber / 74.8g protein = 2.5g net carbs
*Note this is a very large serving. We just really liked it so we got 4 portions per 2.6lb roast.
