Not too long ago I made a Maryland-style pit beef on my smoker. It came out fantastic, but left me wanting to try the same idea again, but make it easier. And when I think easy, I think about my Char-Broil Big Easy. So off I went, and let me tell you, this Maryland pit beef is fantastic. The flavor is just insane. The meat is so tender and juicy, with just a bit of a nice crust. Perfect on a sandwich.
Don’t Let It Overcook…
The Big Easy cooks high-and-fast, and you want this Maryland pit beef to come off rare, so keep an eye on it. I went about 5 degrees further than I wanted, but I was still absolutely thrilled with the results.
Crazy-Good Sandwiches
I made simple sandwiches from this beef after slicing it thin. Just a bit of Sriracha horseradish sauce and that’s it. That’s all it needed. The beef has such great flavor that I didn’t want to hide it with onion or lettuce or tomato… or anything.

You can cook darned near anything on the Big Easy. Also try my tasty tender pulled pork.
It’s always a good idea to keep a few spare grease trays on hand for your Char-Broil Big Easy.

Maryland Pit Beef on the Char-Broil Big Easy
Ingredients
For the beef
- 2 tablespoons seasoned salt
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 pound top round beef roast
For the sandwiches
- 8 Kaiser buns
- Sriracha horseradish sauce

Instructions
For the beef
- Combine all of the spices.
- Sprinkle all sides of the beef with 3-4 tablespoons of the rub. Don’t be shy with it.
- Wrap the beef tightly in foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days, turning every 12 hours. The longer, the more flavor.
- Fire up your Big Easy.
- Remove the roast from foil and place into the Big Easy basket.
- Lower into the cooker and cook until the center reaches 125 F for rare, about 45 minutes. It's easy to over-cook the beef, so start checking the temperature after 30 minutes.

For the sandwiches

- Slather buns with the sauce.
- Add plenty of onion then mound up the thinly-sliced beef.
