I had a nice chuck roast and some friends were coming over. I could have just smoked or braised the roast but there is something about a beef dip. That crusty roll soaked in au jus and dripping down your arm just screams comfort food. So, I decided to make my chuck roast into Beef Chuck Dip. Continue reading Beef Chuck Dip
