How to Make Smoked London Broil on Pit Boss
Picture this: it’s a warm summer evening, the grill is fired up, and the anticipation is palpable. That’s the scene when I decided to tackle the challenge of smoking a London broil on my trusty Pit Boss. Here’s a quick rundown of how I nailed it:
- Prep Time: First things first, you gotta prep that meat. Grab your London broil and give it a good rub with your seasoning blend. I like to keep it simple with a mix of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a hint of paprika for that extra kick.
- Fire Up the Pit Boss: While your meat is marinating in all that flavorful goodness, it’s time to fire up the Pit Boss. I opted for a mix of hickory and cherry wood pellets to give my London broil that irresistible smoky flavor.
- Set the Stage: Once your grill is nice and hot (around 225°F to 250°F), it’s time to place that marinated beauty right on the grates. Close the lid and let the magic happen. Keep an eye on the temperature and aim for a nice, slow cook.
- Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em: Now comes the hard part – resisting the urge to peek! Let your London broil bathe in that smoky goodness for about an hour per inch of thickness. Trust me, patience pays off in the form of perfectly juicy, flavorful meat.
- The Moment of Truth: After patiently waiting (or maybe not so patiently in my case), it’s time to check the internal temperature. Aim for medium-rare perfection, around 135°F to 140°F. Once you hit the mark, pull that bad boy off the grill and let it rest. After a few minutes, you can start slicing.
- Slice and Serve: Now comes the best part – slicing into that tender, smoky masterpiece. Serve it up with your favorite sides and get ready for a flavor explosion that’ll have your taste buds doing the happy dance.
What type of wood/pellets to use for this recipe?
When it comes to smoking a London broil on your Pit Boss, the type of wood you use can make all the difference. Personally, I’m a fan of hickory and cherry wood pellets for this recipe. The hickory adds a bold, smoky flavor, while the cherry wood lends a touch of sweetness that pairs perfectly with the savory goodness of the meat.
Of course, feel free to get creative and experiment with different wood blends to find your perfect match. Just remember, the key is to go low and slow for that mouthwatering smoky flavor that’ll have your guests coming back for seconds.
Additional Tips
Now, let’s talk turkey – or in this case, London broil. Here are a few additional tips to take your smoked masterpiece to the next level:
- Don’t skimp on the seasoning. A generous rubdown with your favorite spices is the secret to a flavor-packed London broil.
- Invest in a good meat thermometer. It’s the best way to ensure your meat is cooked to perfection every time.
- Let it rest. I know it’s tempting to dive right in, but giving your London broil a few minutes to rest allows those juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier end product.
What to Serve
Now that you’ve mastered the art of smoked London broil, it’s time to decide what to serve alongside your culinary masterpiece. Personally, I’m a sucker for classic barbecue sides like coleslaw, baked beans, and cornbread.
Or, if you’re feeling fancy, why not whip up a batch of garlic mashed potatoes or grilled veggies to round out the meal? The possibilities are endless, so get creative and let your taste buds be your guide.
What to Do with Leftovers
Let’s face it – as much as we love devouring that juicy London broil fresh off the grill, there’s bound to be leftovers. But fear not, my friends, for leftover London broil is a gift that keeps on giving.
From sandwiches and salads to stir-fries and tacos, there are endless ways to repurpose those tasty leftovers into mouthwatering meals. Get creative and let your imagination run wild!
Overall, I’ve learned that with a little patience and a whole lot of flavor, smoked London broil on your Pit Boss grill is an absolute game-changer. So, fire up that grill, gather your friends and family, and get ready to embark on a culinary adventure that’s sure to leave everyone craving more. Happy grilling, my fellow pit bosses!
