PitMaster’s Memo: Other Types of Beef for Burnt Ends

If you can’t find chuck roast, you have other options:

  • Bottom Round is a leaner cut of meat that’s less tender than chuck roast. The process of making burnt ends takes care of that.
  • Brisket for a rich, beefy taste. The slow cooking for burnt ends ensures tenderness.
  • Cross Rib Roast, which has good marbling and flavor.
  • Rump Roast. Slice against the grain when cutting your cubes to improve tenderness in the finished product.
  • Short Ribs have great marbling and are a tasty alternative to chuck roast.
  • Shoulder Roast is another well-marbled cut with good flavor. 

Sides

  • Honeyed Cornbread
  • Kale slaw
  • Old-fashioned potato salad
  • Roasted sweet potatoes with paprika
