Hawaiian inspired burnt ends; a vacation on a plate just in time for Memorial Day Weekend, you're welcome.
Tender, flavorful, delicious burnt ends made with chuck roast! The summer rival for pot roast! Coleslaw for the mayo haters – inspired by a slaw from Maui using coconut milk, pineapple, cubed cabbage, and green onions and cilantro. It’s a party. The potato salad made with bright herbs, springy lemon, and buttery ‘taters!
This is how we will be spending Memorial Day – everything can be prepped in advance, executed fairly hands off, and there is plenty of time to pay respects to the brave.

- Insert the temperature probe into the center of the roast.
*You can use a regular barbecue as along as you can monitor the temperature and do indirect heat.


2. Spritz or brush the meat generously with the apple juice and beef stock mixture every 1½ hours until the roast internal temperature reaches between 150 and 160 degrees.
- Create a foil boat to set the roast in and pour in the remaining juice and broth mixture.
- Seal the foil pouch to lock in the liquid.
- Return the meat to the smoker and reinsert the temperature probe.
- Turn up the heat up to 250 degrees.


3. When the roast reaches an internal temperature 200 degrees, remove it.
- Chop into 1-inch cubes - discard remaining juices.
- Add the cubed beef to a shallow pan and toss to coat with the ghee & barbecue sauce.
- Cover with foil and return to the smoker for 30 minutes.
- Garnish with the pineapple and green onion when serving.

- Let marinate in the fridge before serving anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight.

5. Tropical Cabbage Slaw
