INGREDIENTS
 

  • 3 pounds/1.4 kilograms chuck roast
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons barbecue seasoning, divided
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 8 ounces/225 grams pepper Jack cheese, shredded
  • 8 ounces/225 grams sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 8 ounces/225 grams cream cheese, cubed
  • 10 ounces/285 grams canned diced tomatoes with their juices
  • 4 ounces/115 grams canned diced jalapeños, drained
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • ¼ cup milk

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Heat a smoker to 225°F/110°C.
  • Pat the chuck roast dry. Rub with the mustard, then season all over with the salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the barbecue seasoning.
  • Smoke until the roast develops a deep, dark bark and reaches an internal temperature of 180°F/80°C, 2 to 3 hours.
  • Transfer the roast to a disposable aluminum pan or baking dish. Pour in the beef broth, sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon barbecue seasoning, cover tightly with foil, and return to the smoker. Cook until the beef is very tender and shreds easily with a fork, 2 to 3 hours more.
  • Meanwhile, combine the pepper Jack, Cheddar, cream cheese, tomatoes with their juices, jalapeños, onion, and milk in a cast-iron skillet or disposable aluminum pan.
  • Place the queso on the smoker and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cheeses are melted and the dip is smooth, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Finely chop or shred the beef and stir it into the queso until evenly combined. If the dip is too thick, stir in a little more milk until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Serve hot with tortilla chips or toasted bread.
