COOK IT.
Prepare the beef first. Season thoroughly with Montreal steak spice or simply salt pepper and garlic. Place the beef roast onto a rack over a plate or board and allow it to sit for at least 45 minutes, but preferably in the fridge overnight.
In a saucepan, bring the vinegar, water, salt, and sugar to a simmer until the salt and sugar are dissolved. Remove from heat. Thinly slice the onion, radish, and optional peppers. Place the sliced vegetables into a heat-safe container and pour the vinegar mixture over. Add as much or as little dill, bay leaves, and peppercorns as you like, mix in the olive oil.
Cover, but don’t seal, allowing it to come to room temperature before chilling.
For the goat cheese mayonnaise, place the goat cheese, mayonnaise, horseradish, and chives into a blender and process until creamy and homogenous. Chill immediately.
Prepare your charcoal barbecue for indirect grilling with smoking. Pour a line of unlit charcoal around the outside of the charcoal kettle, place wood chunks throughout the unlit charcoal. Place a drip pan with hot water under where you will be placing the beef. Light ⅓ to ½ a load of charcoal and pour the lit coals at one end of the unlit charcoal. Set the air vents to ¼ to ⅓ open and preheat the barbecue to 225°F (107°C).
Smoke the beef for 2 to 3 hours, until an internal temperature of 122°F (50°C), pull the meat off the BBQ. Gather the coals, if you are running low, add more lit coals, and open the air shutters wide. Heat the coals to high. Sear the beef on all sides to get delicious grill marks.
Rest the beef for at least 30 minutes if you plan to serve warm, however, you will get better slices if you chill overnight.
Serve thinly sliced beef on grilled bread or rolls topped with the goat cheese mayonnaise, pickled vegetables, and some greens if you wish.
