This Baltimore BBQ Sandwich Will Fix You | Cooking The States (Maryland)

“Pit Beef” sounds like the name of the villain from an 80’s kick-boxing movie, but it’s actually the name of a really dank sandwich from Baltimore, Maryland. Baltimore is home to one of the more unique styles of BBQ, one that’s just about as bare bones as it gets... no Post Oak, no Hickory, just good ol’ lump charcoal, open pits and controlled heat. In Baltimore BBQ is different. Here you won’t find racks of ribs basted in sauce or perfectly trimmed briskets smoked to perfection, no no. In Baltimore Bottom Round is king, specifically the bottom round “flat” as it’s called. The flats are lightly trimmed before getting a treatment of direct heat until evenly charred. The fat cap is then removed as the meat comes to a rare temperature (110-115F, 43-46c) then the bare side is charred again. Be sure to slice across the grain of the muscle to help manually tenderize this thing. I like it rare, but feel free to throw it back on the grill to take it to a higher temp and/or give it some extra smoke flavor. I was fortunate enough to travel to Baltimore this summer to try a pit beef sandwich from Chap’s BBQ outside the city. This recipe is directly inspired by that experience. Let me know if you have any questions and I hope you dig! 🤘🏼 Adam RECIPE: https://www.adamwitt.co/allrecipes/bl... ________________________________________________________ FOLLOW ALONG ON SOCIAL… https://www.adamwitt.co/social-links DISCORD…   / discord   CONTRIBUTE TO THE GROCERY FUND!
