Smoking Beef London Broil in a Masterbuilt Smoker

Welcome to the wonderful world of smoking meat! If you’re a fan of tender, flavorful beef, then smoking a London broil in a Masterbuilt smoker is a must-try. The slow smoking process infuses the beef with delicious smoky flavor and results in a juicy, melt-in-your-mouth texture that’s hard to resist.

Choosing the Right London Broil

Before you start smoking, it’s important to choose the right cut of beef. Look for a London broil that is well-marbled and about 1 to 1.5 inches thick. This cut, often taken from the top round or flank, is perfect for smoking as it becomes tender and flavorful when cooked low and slow.

Preparing the Beef

Preparing the beef for smoking is a crucial step in the process. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Start by patting the London broil dry with paper towels.
2. Season the beef generously with your favorite dry rub. A simple mix of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika works wonders.
3. Cover the seasoned beef with plastic wrap and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Setting Up the Masterbuilt Smoker

Now it’s time to fire up your Masterbuilt smoker. Follow these steps to get it ready for smoking:

1. Fill the smoker’s wood chip tray with your choice of wood chips. Hickory or mesquite are great options for smoking beef.
2. Preheat the smoker to a temperature of 225-250°F (107-121°C).
3. Place a water pan in the smoker to help maintain the moisture level during the smoking process.

Smoking the London Broil

Once the smoker is preheated and ready to go, it’s time to start smoking the beef:

1. Place the seasoned London broil directly on the smoker rack.
2. Close the smoker door and let the beef smoke for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135-140°F (57-60°C) for medium-rare or 145-150°F (63-66°C) for medium.
3. Monitor the smoker temperature throughout the smoking process and add more wood chips as needed to maintain a steady smoke.

Resting and Serving

Once the London broil has reached the desired doneness, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and tender end product.

After resting, slice the beef against the grain into thin strips and serve it up with your favorite sides. Whether it’s a classic potato salad, grilled vegetables, or a fresh green salad, the smoked beef London broil is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.

So, there you have it – a simple yet flavorful way to smoke beef London broil in a Masterbuilt smoker. With a little time and patience, you’ll be rewarded with a mouthwatering dish that’s perfect for any occasion. Enjoy!
