Wagyu Meatloaf on a Pellet Smoker
I love a good moisture and tender meatloaf, but I do not like a Brick Hard and Dry meatloaf. So, I wanted to create a meatloaf that was moist but not soggy. Tender but not dry. So, to do this I decided to make a meatloaf with Wagyu beef. So, we took the trimmings from our competition #Snakeriverfarms Brisket and grind it into hamburger meat. We used this to make our Wagyu Meatloaf that was unbelievable delicious
- 5 lbs. Wagyu (Heavy Fat) Hamburger
- 4 ea, Eggs
- 1 cup Chopped Onions
- 1 cup Chopped Mushrooms
- 1 cup Chopped Yellow Bell Peppers
- 1 cup Chopped Green Bell Peppers
- 1 Sleeve Saltine Wheat Crackers - Crushed
- Pam Olive Spray
- Rufus Teague – Steak Rub
- The Slabs Wow up you cow - Rub
- Rufus Teague – Honey Sweet - Rub
Mixing
In a large mixing bowl add the Wagyu (Heavy Fat) Hamburger Meat and eggs and mix
Add a small amount of the vegetables into the mixture until you get the consistency you are looking for.
Add the Crushed Saltine Wheat Crackers into the mixture and mix.
Add your rubs (to taste) to the mixture and mix
Shaping
Take a large sheet pan and wrap it in Aluminum Foil.
Place it on your prep table with the bottom up.
Apply a light coat of Pam Olive Spray to the pan and light add an even coat of your BBQ rubs.
Transfer the meatloaf mixture from the bowl to the pan.
Press the Meatloaf into the shape you are looking for. Make sure to continue to press and shape until it stops showing cracks
Apply a light coat of your BBQ rubs to the outside of the meatloaf.
Cooking / Smoking
Pre-heat your Recteq pellet smoker to 300°
Cook uncovered until you reach an internal temperature of 155°-160°
Remove from the Recteq Smoker and apply you BBQ Sauce to the top. Use the excess oil around the meatloaf to thin out the BBQ sauce.
Return it to the Recteq smoker, just long enough to set the sauce. 5. Let it rest until it is just cool enough to handle
Slice and enjoy.
