Description

Succulent grilled chuck roast emerges as a hearty centerpiece for summer gatherings. Tender meat marinates in bold spices, promising rich flavors and satisfying meat lovers with its robust character.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 boneless beef chuck roast (about 22.5 lbs / 10.2 kg)
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) red wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsps (30 ml) soy sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Marinade Fusion: Whisk olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce, crushed garlic, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
  2. Flavor Infusion: Completely submerge chuck roast in the marinade, seal in an airtight container, and refrigerate for 8-12 hours, occasionally rotating to ensure comprehensive flavor penetration.
  3. Thermal Preparation: Remove roast from refrigerator 30 minutes prior to grilling, allowing meat to equilibrate to room temperature for more consistent cooking performance.
  4. Grill Configuration: Ignite grill to medium heat (350-400°F), meticulously clean and lightly oil grates to prevent adherence and facilitate pristine grill marks.
  5. Cooking Execution: Drain excess marinade from roast, position on preheated grill, and cover to maintain consistent temperature and capture smoky essence.
  6. Precision Grilling: Cook each side for 18-22 minutes, rotating midway to generate attractive cross-hatch patterns and guarantee uniform heat distribution.
  7. Doneness Verification: Check internal temperature using a meat thermometer – aim for 145°F (medium-rare) or 160°F (medium) for optimal texture and flavor.
  8. Resting Phase: Transfer grilled roast to a cutting board, let rest undisturbed for 10 minutes to redistribute internal juices and ensure maximum tenderness.
  9. Serving Presentation: Carve roast against the grain into elegant, thin slices, optimizing meat’s natural texture and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Tenderize Strategically: Marinate chuck roast for at least 8 hours to break down tough muscle fibers and enhance meat’s natural flavor profile.
  • Temperature Management: Let meat rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling to ensure even cooking and prevent tough, uneven texture.
  • Monitor Grill Heat: Maintain consistent medium heat (350-400°F) to prevent burning while achieving perfect caramelization and juicy interior.
  • Slice Smartly: Cut meat against the grain to maximize tenderness, reducing chewiness and creating more enjoyable eating experience.
