Ingredients

Servings
  • 500 g beef mince
  • 250 g pork mince
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 egg
  • 60 g breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp BBQ rub
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic granules
  • 120 ml BBQ sauce, to glaze
  • Hickory or oak wood

Method

  1. 1

    Mix the beef, pork, onion, egg, breadcrumbs, BBQ rub, Worcestershire and garlic until just combined β€” don't overwork.

  2. 2

    Shape into a tight loaf on a piece of foil or in a perforated tray.

  3. 3

    Smoke at 120Β°C (250Β°F) over hickory until the internal temperature reaches 65Β°C (150Β°F) β€” about 1½–.

  4. 4

    Brush generously with BBQ sauce and continue until it hits 71Β°C (160Β°F) and the glaze is set β€” about more.

  5. 5

    Rest before slicing thickly.

Notes

  • A 50/50 beef-and-pork mix keeps it moist; all-beef can be dry.
  • Leftover slices griddled for a sandwich are a thing of beauty.
