Pulled Beef on Indian Fry Bread

After seeing pics of a friend's smoked beef chuck the other day, I couldn't get it out of my mind. I haven't smoked a chuck in quite awhile and his looked sooooo goood!.

I used a simple seasoning of cracked black pepper, some of my smoked coarse salt and a little sprinkle of granulated garlic...

Into the Big Poppa Smoker drum...

I let it go for 2 hours uncovered...

then added beef stock and onions....and foiled til tender. (about 3 1/2 more hours)

while the beef chuck cooked I made a batch of Indian fry bread...
 combined
2 cups of flour
1 TBS baking powder
1 tsp salt
Then worked in 1 TBS of lard
When the lard was worked in well I added 1/2 cup of warm water.
Kneaded well and covered for 30 minutes

Rolled and used hands to form circles. I like to keep the edges thicker than the center...

Fried til puffy and golden...

the tender beef chuck...

the puffy fry bread...

pulled beef....

topped with fresh pico, lettuce, smoked pepper jack cheese and a dollop of sour cream

It was pretty tasty. I could tell I should have smoked two chucks instead of just one. :)
