Can I Finish Smoked Beef in the Oven?
Yes. Sometimes there are weather issues or other unexpected events. After smoking of a few hours, place in the oven to finish cooking.
Can I Use Foil Instead of Pink Butchers Paper?
Yes. Using foil can speed up the cooking process and traps the moisture in the meat. This results in a softer crust or bark on the meat. Butchers Paper is breathable and has a better outcome in my opinion.
Storage and Reheating
- Fridge - allow meat to cool and place in an airtight container. Keep refrigerated and enjoy within 3 days.
- Freezer - place cooled meat in a Ziploc bag squeezing out excess air. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheating - Defrost frozen meat in the fridge overnight. Place meat in a frying pan with some beef broth. Heat on low until warm. Alternatively place in microwave and heat for 1 minute, with 30 second additional bursts.
