Roast Beef Swiss Cheese Sandwich
Was playing around with our marinade to make an ultimate Swiss roast beef sandwich. This shoulder soaked for a full 24 hours in the fridge then oven roasted for 8 hours. Large cut low and slow beef cooking will range in cooking time depending on a few factors: size, grain... Getting your roast beef sandwich to its best tender spot is by reaching the beef's internal target temperature. Cooking at too high of an outside temperature will cook the roast beef's internal target temperature too quickly, rendering tough beef. Keep reading. Cooking at a low outside temperature will cook the meat slower, bringing the internal temperature up to produce tender meat. The low and slow method basically breaks down the connective tissue, almost like melting it away. Sometimes too low of a temperature on a low-and-slow cook will turn the roast or large cut of beef too tender. As a roast beef lover, I use the low and slow method 95% of the time. You will inherit new tricks and techniques that match your kitchen. Just think of the different appliances used to cook roast beef or large cuts of beef. You can keep an oven's temperature under control pretty easily, but when you step into a 1000-gallon pit, it's a different set of rules, mostly paying attention for the long haul. Make the Roast Beef Sandwich Happen. This is a good guide if you got your cooking vessel's attitude under control within a 10-degree difference. My general rule is a target temperature of 245, no higher than 250 and no lower than 230. I freak out on higher temps, but my pit master buddies don't. So see, your results will vary from your experience. Three things to note: a thermometer to measure inside meat (if your cooking appliance doesn't have one), a thermometer for the inside of your cooking appliance, and time. All was pretty simple and done in my auto electric smoker so I didn't have to constantly tend to a fire. Start cooking in the morning and by the end of the day I have a roast beef sandwich ready to go!

Step-by-step
- In a heavy-duty food bag or container, add the beef and Uglyade.
- Place back in the fridge and marinate for 24 hours.
- One hour before cooking, set meat on a plate on the counter to drain.
- Get smoker or oven up to 245 degrees.
- Get a pan to medium-high heat.
- Sprinkle and rub all the Dawgs Bark on the meat.
- Add a couple of drops of olive oil and quickly add meat to sear 2 flat sides.
- In the smoker, add meat by itself away from the heat on the grill.
- Cooking in the oven: stack a cookie sheet, foil, grill, and then the meat so it's elevated.
- Push thermometer into the center of the meat.
- This is the long part: Cook until the thermometer says 200 degrees. Mine took 13 hours; it will matter with the size of the shoulder and temperature consistency. Try to keep from looking at it.
- When you're done, wrap in foil and let rest at least 1 hour. I shoot for 2 to 3 hours of rest.
- In a pan, heat up some olive oil, onion slices, and your volume of salt.
- Pour off excess olive oil and toast buns in the pan.
- Start stacking: Slice of Swiss cheese, pulled beef, onion, cheese, and whatever else would make this perfect!

Even the simplest elements are elevated when made with care and attention to detail. The perfectly toasted bun, the sharp tang of Swiss cheese, and the sweet bite of caramelized onions, all combine to create a symphony of textures and flavors.
