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
- 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.
- 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.
- Thermal Preparation: Remove roast from refrigerator 30 minutes prior to grilling, allowing meat to equilibrate to room temperature for more consistent cooking performance.
- Grill Configuration: Ignite grill to medium heat (350-400°F), meticulously clean and lightly oil grates to prevent adherence and facilitate pristine grill marks.
- Cooking Execution: Drain excess marinade from roast, position on preheated grill, and cover to maintain consistent temperature and capture smoky essence.
- Precision Grilling: Cook each side for 18-22 minutes, rotating midway to generate attractive cross-hatch patterns and guarantee uniform heat distribution.
- Doneness Verification: Check internal temperature using a meat thermometer – aim for 145°F (medium-rare) or 160°F (medium) for optimal texture and flavor.
- Resting Phase: Transfer grilled roast to a cutting board, let rest undisturbed for 10 minutes to redistribute internal juices and ensure maximum tenderness.
- 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.
