When I did this recipe, the bottom 1/4 of meat turned out tender and edible, the rest was hard and rubbery. The meat was quality, there was a lot of juice in the bottom... what in the heck happened? Is this because of the instapot or Sablevulpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08225447443882109609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-48182137761981458652012-06-04T09:58:18.085-07:002012-06-04T09:58:18.085-07:00So, i tried this recipe again and used Stubb's...So, i tried this recipe again and used Stubb's bbq sauce instead of A1, and it was better, but still didn't taste like barbeque. Then i realized the liquid smoke i had was MESQUITE flavored, and i was using hickory flavored sauce. Oops. No wonder it tasted weird. So i switched to Sweet Baby Ray's honey bbq sauce, and it went MUCH better with the liquid smoke i had.

I followed the recipe for this one, but cut the liquid smoke down to a 1/2T. That stuff is potent. The end result was good, but the A1 pretty much just made it taste like roast.

Liberally sprinkle Hawaiian sea salt, (or reg sea salt, and garlic powder) then pour liquid smoke all over. (I use 1/2 a cup which is one bottle) but I like it really smokey flavored.
