Grilled Cajun Chuck Roast With Spicy Cheddar Grits Recipes

GRILLED CAJUN CHUCK ROAST WITH SPICY CHEDDAR GRITS

Steps:

• Press Cajun seasoning evenly onto all surfaces of beef roast. Place two 24 x 18-inch pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil on top of each other in shallow roasting pan; place roast in center of foil. Bring up all sides of foil forming a bag and so no liquid can leak out; do not seal. Combine tomatoes and flour in small bowl; pour evenly over surface of pot roast. Seal top and sides of bag with double fold.
• Prepare grill for indirect cooking by igniting an equal number of charcoal briquets on each side of the fire grate, leaving open space in center. When coals are medium, ash-covered (about 25 to 30 minutes), add 3 to 4 new briquets to each side. Place aluminum foil drip pan in center of grate between coals. Position cooking grid with handles over coals, so briquets may be added as needed.
• Remove foil bag from pan and place in center of grid over drip pan. Grill, covered, 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until roast is fork-tender. (Add 3 to 4 briquets per side every 30 minutes to maintain heat.)
• Meanwhile prepare grits. Cooks grits in water with salt according to package directions. Add 1/2 cup cheese and red pepper; stir until cheese melts; keep warm.
• Remove foil packet to clean shallow pan. Using oven mitts, cut packet open with sharp knife. Carefully fold back top of packet allowing steam to escape. Remove roast; keep warm. Skim fat from cooking liquid.
• Carve roast into slices; serve with cooking liquid and grits. Sprinkle cheese over grits, as desired.
