Citrus Marinated Chuck Roast For The Grill Recipes

CITRUS-MARINATED CHUCK ROAST FOR THE GRILL

Steps:

• Sprinkle roast generously on both sides with salt, pepper and meat tenderizer.
• Mix remaining ingredients.
• Put roast in a large ziplock bag; add marinade; seal and refrigerate at least overnight. (I prefer to go 48 hours.).
• Grill over medium-hot coals, turning several times and basting with reserved marinade frequently.
• Cook approximately 35-40 minutes, until done to your liking.
• Allow roast to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

BEEF CHUCK ROAST ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce and red wine in the container in which you plan to marinate the roast.
• Dunk the roast in so it's moistened on both sides.
• Sprinkle half the meat tenderizer on one side of the roast.
• Prick the surface with a fork all over.
• Sprinkle oregano and garlic powder to taste.
• Turn the roast over in the marinade.
• Repeat the tenderizer and spices on the other side.
• Flip over again and let rest in the marinade.
• Let marinate at least overnight, turning at least once.
• Cook on the grill to desired doneness. Chuck will come out tender using this technique even if cooked a short amount of time.
• Slice across the grain and serve.

MARINATED CHUCK ROAST

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce; add the roast. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight., Pour the marinade into a Dutch oven. Bring to a boil; boil for 2 minutes. Add roast to the pan. Cover and bake at 325° for 3 to 3-1/2 hours or until the meat is tender. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Thicken juices for gravy if desired.

CHUCK ROAST OR STEAK MARINADE FOR THE GRILL

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup. Microwave for about a minute. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Let cool.
• Put your chuck roast or steak in a gallon size zip-loc bag. Add marinade. Close the bag, but suck out all the air before completely closing bag. Put in fridge and marinate for 24 hours. Turn the bag a few times during that period. You can marinate the day of, or give it a couple days. 24 hours seems to work quite well.
• Heat your grill until it is as hot as possible. I have a Weber gas grill, and it takes a good 20 minutes to get that thing smoking hot. My Weber has a thermometer and I'm guessing the grill hits 700 degrees. Get the meat and toss it on the grill. I use a timer -- 3 minutes to sear side one, flip, sear side two for another 3 minutes. If your roast is over 2" thick, go 4 minutes per side. You really do want to sear the meat -- black and smoke is not your enemy -- lots of flavor comes from that. After searing, shut the center burner off and set the others to medium (indirect cooking method for charcoal people). Grill temp should settle down to about 350. At this point I do stick a remote grilling thermometer in the roast/steak. I pull a roast or steak from the grill when it hits about 132 degrees for medium rare. So if the thermometer reads 82 after I sear it, there are 50 more degrees to go, or 25 per side. So I do flip it again when it hits 107 degrees. If you don't own a remote grilling thermometer, buy one.
• When it hits 132 degrees pull it off the grill, put it on a plate and put it in the microwave. I say put it in the microwave for 2 reasons -- 2 Labrador Retrievers who will steal a perfectly cooked piece of meat off the counter in the blink of an eye. At any rate, let the meat sit for 10-15 minutes, which gives you time to do the grilled asparagus, corn, garlic bread, etc.
• This recipe will never fail. Sometimes the cut of meat fails, but no matter what, it will have amazing flavor. For decades I have only used this with a chuck roast on the grill, but gave it a whirl with a thick cut ribeye. Wife said it was the best steak she ever had.
