- After one hour, pour the two cups of beef broth into the bottom of the cake pan.
- Turn your Traeger up high and let it cook until the internal temperature reaches 120°.
- Pull the roast off of the grill when it hits 120° and let it rest for twenty minutes before slicing.
- Pour the juices from the bottom of the pan through a strainer, skim the fat off of the top, and use the remaining juice for your au jus.
