Recipe Tips
For the best results, use a sweet, tomato-based BBQ sauce rather than one with a mustard or vinegar base. The sweetness caramelizes beautifully during smoking, creating an irresistible glaze.
If you prefer a different binding method, try substituting the breadcrumbs with sliced bread soaked in milk. The milk enzymes help tenderize the beef, resulting in an even more melt-in-your-mouth texture.
