Beef taco ideas?

[Tim O]

Looking to make some chicken and beef tacos for New Years on the WSM. Never cooked a steak/beef product on my WSM yet. Unfortunately I don't have the time to do a brisket. What's the best cut for BBQ beef tacos? I was thinking maybe beef back ribs? Or a pulled beef chuck roast? Thoughts ? Thanks and Happy New Year

I would probably do a variation on the pepper stout beef:

Maybe use poblanos instead of bell peppers and use some chili powder and cumin in the rub.

Whatever you do, putting WSM and tacos in the same sentence is a recipe for awesome!

I actually just left a post on the pepper stout thread asking for a Mexican variation for tacos. Seems like a logical idea...

I saw a post on here where taco seasoning was rubbed on a chuck roast then smoked for a few hours. The result was taco seasoned meat. It looked fantastic.

The Pepper Beef Stout recipe here.... http://wolfepit.blogspot.com/2009/10/pepper-stout-beef.html

This would be excellent for beef tacos, burritos, tamales, sandwiches, etc, etc!!

Another would be Carne Asada, if I was specifically going for Taco's that would be what I would do with Chef Merito Seasoning

beef tongue is supposed to be deadly with tacos, its on my todo list for sure

Carne Asada and Pollo Asada rein supreme around here. You could use chuck roast or cheek meat if you want to serve shredded beef tacos or Barbacoa

Me personally I have had success with chuck roast and making shredded tacos or rolled tacos(taquitos).

Whatever you do you can't go wrong with a chuck roast for smoking and shredding.

I've done this before and it's good!

Skirt steak. Pound thin to tenderize, cut it into decent-sized pieces, season it well and smoke it at about 225-250 for an hour or so, flipping halfway through.
