Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 boneless beef chuck roast (about 2–2.5 lbs / 907–1134 grams)
Liquid Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) olive oil
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) soy sauce
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Craft a robust marinade by whisking olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in a compact mixing vessel.
- Submerge the chuck roast completely in the liquid seasoning within a sealable container or flat storage plate, ensuring full coverage.
- Refrigerate the marinating meat for a minimum of 8 hours, periodically rotating to distribute flavors evenly throughout the protein.
- Calibrate outdoor grill to moderate temperature zone, targeting approximately 350-400 fahrenheit for optimal cooking environment.
- Extract roast from marinade, allowing excess liquid to cascade off naturally, preventing flame flare-ups during grilling process.
- Position meat on heated grill grates, covering with lid to maintain consistent internal temperature and promote even cooking.
- Rotate roast midway through cooking cycle, grilling approximately 18-22 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches desired doneness (145F for medium-rare, 160F for medium).
- Carefully transfer grilled roast onto clean cutting surface, permitting meat to rest undisturbed for 10 minutes, allowing internal juices to redistribute and stabilize.
- Slice against natural muscle grain to maximize tenderness and create optimal serving presentation.
Notes
- Marinate your chuck roast overnight for maximum flavor infusion, allowing the acidic vinegar and soy sauce to tenderize the meat and break down tough muscle fibers.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure precise doneness, preventing overcooking and maintaining the roast’s juicy, tender texture.
- Experiment with alternative marinades like fresh herbs, bourbon, or citrus-based mixtures to create unique flavor profiles that complement the rich beef.
- Let the grilled roast rest completely before slicing to redistribute internal juices, guaranteeing a moist and succulent eating experience.
