How to Grill Pit Beef at Home with just a Charcoal Grill. And since this is my take on the classic Baltimore-Style Pit Beef Sandwich - so I guess you might call this one the Mississippi-Style Pit Beef….

Pit Beef Sandwich Recipe
Ingredients:
- 5# bottom round roast
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup Killer Hogs AP Seasoning
- 1 Tablespoon onion powder
- 1 Tablespoon chili powder
- 1 Tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- kaiser rolls for serving
- 1 thinly sliced sweet onion- Tiger Sauce (recipe below)
Tiger Sauce
- 3/4 cup Blue Plate Mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup prepared horseradish
- squeeze of lemon wedge
- 2 teaspoons Killer Hogs AP Seasoning
Mix all together in a small bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Directions:
1. Combine AP Seasoning with onion powder, chili powder, paprika, and mustard powder in a small bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the bottom round roast for a binder and apply the seasoning to the outside.
2. Prepare a charcoal fire for direct grilling over lump coal.
3. Place the seasoned bottom round fat side down on the pit and sear for 2-3 minutes. Rotate the roast and continue to sear on all sides turning often.
4. Keep searing and turning the roast until all sides have a nice dark color and the internal temperature in the center of the roast reaches 120°F. (the outer edges will be a little more done but the center should be perfect)
5. Remove the pit beef from the grill and rest for 20 minutes before slicing thin across the grain.
6. To assemble the sandwich. Spread Tiger Sauce on the bottom bun, pile on the sliced pit beef, add thinly sliced onion and the top half of the bun. Enjoy!

Don't know too many people that can make a bottom round look good. Way to go Malcolm

[@RYTF5]

I mean, it's still beef. Better than chicken.

[@cwg73160]

Calm down. It’s roast beef.

[@CornShoe]

I like me bottoms round to, son

[@ericmackie146]

Nailed it!!! From Maryland, thank you for doing our style off bbq your way. Not too many out there show us much love for it. Appreciate it!

[@davidbrittingham9512]

Lived in MD before retiring to AZ. Used to love to go for pit beef and a cold beer. Slice thin on an electric slicer is best. Don't worry about the flies. They wont eat much.

[@johnlebzelter4208]

@ericmackie146 Maybe you all should focus on driving rather than meat. MD drivers are the worst!!!

[@jeromewalton5553]

We’re trying to get some pit beef!! Plus that sounds like what a NJ driver would say, I think they are worse.

[@cristianbazurto7028]

Bull on the Beach in OC makes some great pit beef sandwiches. Always stop by there when I'm in OC

[@patrickharrison3164]

Malcolm, born and raised in Baltimore, we always use top round, we would mix 1 gallon of water with a splash of vinegar and heavy mix of salt and pepper to baste as often as needed to keep it moist. Love your style and your seasoning.

[@johnnymossville]

Is Chaps in Baltimore the place to go or is there better in your opinion?

[@SeeMzFTW]

@@johnnymossville chaps is the best pit beef place by a mile. There's actually not a lot of "pit beef places," and more so "bar and grills that have good pit beef." I also like smokehouse pit beef in middle river. whatever you do- NEVER get the pit beef from Boog's BBQ at Camden Yards, IT IS HORRIBLE

[@skoomskaa]

@@johnnymossville I drive to Chaps all the way from PG County to get the pit beef. They have other locations now but I always go the Pulaski one.

[@apolloc231]

Smokys in Eldersburg is great, too. Get the junior special and dip your fries in the cream of crab soup... heaven.

[@MickyWhite247]

@@johnnymossvilleChaps is a tourist trap. Jakes Grill in Cockeysville is the best, Pioneer Pit Beef around Catonsville is amazing too.

[@ElwoodFarmGoats]

Love that you showed MD some love. Getting pit beef from Chaps with tiger sauce is something I always tell people when talking about pit beef.

[@portagee]

I love how he tries other ways to bbq food ! I've never even heard of this but I sure damn well going to try it thank you for all that you do.

[@SeeMzFTW]

pit beef is top notch party food. Pit beef, ham, and turkey go hand in hand with steamed crabs here. super thin onion slices, tiger sauce, and a bold, spicy BBQ sauce are a necessity. Kaiser roll is a traditional way, or you can do a "bull dog" which is a brat (or traditionally a polish sausage) on a steak roll topped with pit beef and all the fixins.

[@debs2696]

This Baltimore boy is so happy to see you do a pit beef video!

[@alexrekzu4079]

Marylander here, nailed it with a spin. 👌

[@johnlebzelter4208]

Maybe you should be out practicing how to drive!

[@DistrictFire]

The saying in Balmer is "cut it so thin it only has one side" I use meat slicer for the top round and the super thin onions. Love the way you cooked it and the size you used.

[@LRCLLC]

Thought the same thing … his slices were way too think for proper B’more style. And we NEVER lay them flat either. They gotta be folded up “accordion style” to create the proper stack with air between. And those onions gotta be done on a slicer or a mandolin … so paper thin that they almost melt when you bite into them. Its as much about texture as cook style and taste to be genuine.

[@Hudsoj]

Malcolm, I just wanna say I've been watching you for a while now. Never had a smoker or anything. I got a Kettle grill with the attachments a week ago and smoked my first 2 racks of spare ribs today. I nailed it. With your rubs, sauces, knives, and a B.O.S. It wouldn't have been possible without the education you have provided so thank you.

[@jerrellrice3413]

Baltimorean here, get yourself a deli slicer and you're all set. Looks good.

[@user-mp8ou2kd7t]

The only channel on You Tube worth my time to watch! Awesome job, as always Malcolm.

[@paulied31]

I'm not about to question a pit-masters wisdom but in Baltimore A.) a deli slicer is a must for pit beef and B.) once you've sliced enough portions it's no sin to throw that hunk o' beef back on the grill to re-bark and slice again. Otherwise your recipe is bang-on. Love your channel 👍

[@UncouthJosef]

Love your dedication to the craft out there in the subzero temperatures. Your channel has been an excellent reference for me. Love your work!

[@williambelott1897]

perfect as always Malcolm. When can we all get a tour of the smokehouse? You should be very proud of your team

[@tww15tube]

Baltimore is right! Chaps Pit Beef is the spot!!!

[@perryj8850]

Malcom never fails to impress us. Looks phenomenal!!

[@paulprosser16]

Good video and I'm from the Baltimore area. Thanks for the shout out and I appreciate you doing it correctly.....you nailed it! I know we don't do true Texas or Southern style BBQ up here, but I have learned a ton about it from watching your videos....love the channel!

[@AmRealityInc]

The most satisfying thing from any cooking channel is seeing the chef take a bite of their dish

[@INEEDPEAKPT]

BALTIMORE is in the HOUSE!!!

[@iowareddneck]

Most enthusiast guy in BBQ! Thank you sir!

[@matthewbykowski2353]

Another great one. Pit beef is the best use of those cheap lean beef roasts. Thanks for the demo. Cheers.

[@narbekalantarians6269]

Looks great. Pit beef is such an underrated bite

[@thatflightsimguy]

Malcolm come to the UK and teach these people how to BBQ!

[@adriansmith2639]

He already indirectly taught Flooded With Flavour 😂

[@jsj31313jj]

Malcolm is the closest thing to magic that exists in the world 😊

[@purleybaker]

Thanks for the video. Bottom round is a great cut that doesn't seem to get much love. I shred it for tacos and enchiladas and slice for French dip and roast beef sliders. A meat slicer is really helpful for that.

[@Buzzdbbq56]

I’m from Maryland and love pit beef but I’ve started reverse searing mine and slicing on a slicer perfect every time looks great 🍻

[@bbennett4339]

Malcom should get a slicer and set up a stand on Eutaw St. at Camden Yards. Malcom's BBQ Pit Beef.

[@johnnydelgrady]

That beef looks perfect. Good looking sandwich right there.

[@sjk69c47]

This man is absolutely amazing!! Been watching and following a longtime! True legend!

[@scottd143]

Another great football day recipe. Thanks Malcom

[@SeeMzFTW]

what you know about that Baltimore BBQ Malcom!!! looks bomb! here in Baltimore most places will actually get the sear going on all sides, then stand it on one end for 5 minutes or so, throw it straight from the coals on the deli slicer, cut until it's too rare, then throw the cut side right back down on the grill. gets you a good mix of well done, mid well, mid rare, and rare to suit everyone's taste. World famous Chaps pit beef on me if you're ever in town!

[@shawnmilstead4917]

I'd never heard of Pit Beef until an episode of The Wire which is set in Baltimore

[@MadMike78]

Tonight is the third time making this. It's soooo good.

[@apolloc231]

Wow! Thank you so much for the Baltimore shout out, sir! And wow! You nailed it (was there any doubt?)!

[@S4M4R1T4N]

This guy never disappoints.

[@agentcooper79]

It is truly inspirational to see even prof. Reed needing to improvise sometimes. You the man Malcolm🫡

[@MickyWhite247]

Baltimore boy here, you done good, we usually go with a slicer, but you got it pretty thin. I go with mayo horseradish onions and bbq sauce. Everyone in Baltimore tops it a little different.

[@stevenpatsatsis4060]

Beautiful Sandwich Malcom ... Simple Yet Delicious!!

[@spiraljumper74]

I like a cold pit beef sandwich personally. I chill the roast until I can get it on the deli-slicer. So good.

[@charlisantini3403]

Remember, they got Wee-Bey to confess to multiple homicides for another one of these sandwiches. Legend

[@NoOne-py5or]

lotta horse radish

[@Cray2TheZ]

Nice reference, I never caught that!

[@JWFas]

I'd be interested to see you do a smoked version of beef on weck. Ultra low temperature (~200F) with heavy smoke until the internal temperature of the roast (preferably a whole sirloin) is medium rare. Then run it through a deli slicer and place on a kimmelweck roll with horseradish sauce.

Malcom. I just bought a PK360 and your AP rub and your Hot BBQ rub. It was some next level chicken fajitas. WOW!

There is a restaurant on 94th street in Ocean City Maryland that has some of the best pit beef and this is exactly how they serve this sandwich. Beef, onion and horseradish sauce.

[@billduggan1334]

Looks amazing as always! I'd like to try it with a toasted onion roll and caramelize onions a little....

[@SeeMzFTW]

baltimore guy here, some places have toasted onion rolls which work great, but the raw bite of the onion is what makes a pit beef great imo. we don't do sweet anything. razor thin raw onions, tiger sauce, spicy BBQ sauce is about all you see them served with here.

[@benmathis8920]

We’ll know I know what to do with a bottom round Thank you some much for showing me Looks Yummy Yummy

[@LJ-gn2un]

Thanks for the video, Malcolm! 😋

[@zigzagrambo]

This looks great! My family makes Italian beef with top round or rye round. And we cook it very similar, then slice on a meat slicer when cool, and make an Italian au jus to warm it all up on a roll

[@nicknoble1362]

Did not read all the comments but if you ever want the whole piece it is called a Bottom Round Flat and that is where they cut that roast from.

[@garryhammond3117]

Nice cook Malcolm! - Thanks - Cheers!

[@kerryvarner76]

Used to work in B’more…I think some places will slice it some, then put it back on for more cooking.

[@davemead4504]

That really looks a tasty sandwich!

[@brittsbackyardbbqngrill]

Great video Malcolm! I do quite often. 1 thing I do different is pull it at 115, rest, thin slice then throw the amount of meat for your sammie over fire. Flip, flip, flip, just trying to get that smoke flavor in the meat. The temps might get to 125. No veggies, just Tiger sauce and white onions... Dang nice video... You going to be at Popular Bluff, MO for the Primos event?

[@NuviaDentalImplantCenter]

Looks great as usual! Nicely done

[@michaelsofinowski2404]

Got to be rare my man. Chaps style

[@andrewknaff9220]

Famous in Baltimore Maryland, but the title claims a 0:12 Mississippi roast. 🤷‍♂️ Is it from Baltimore or Mississippi? Who cares? Despite the odd location naming, Malcolm hit it out of the park with this video and recipe. Love this channel!
