Ingredients
- 1 eye of round beef roast approximately 3-4 pounds
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 3 tablespoons coarse salt
- 2 tablespoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 4 cloves garlic minced
Instructions
- Preheat the smoker to 225°F.
- In a small bowl, mix together the coarse salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and minced garlic. Stir in the avocado oil to form a paste.
- Rub the entire surface of the eye of round roast with the seasoning paste, ensuring it's evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned roast directly on the smoker grates. Insert a meat thermometer probe into the thickest part of the roast to monitor its internal temperature throughout the cooking process.
- Smoke the roast at 225°F for about 2.5 - 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F to 135°F. For medium, target 140°F to 145°F.
- Once the roast reaches the desired internal temperature, carefully remove it from the smoker. Let it rest on a cutting board, tented with aluminum foil, for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the roast against the grain into thin slices.
Notes
- Use hickory or oak wood chips for a robust smoky flavor that compliments the beef.
- Keep the smoker lid closed as much as possible to maintain a consistent temperature.
