Steps:
- Combine the butter, blue cheese, chives, and pepper in a dish. Mash the butter mixture with a fork.
- Transfer the butter mixture to a 12-inch long sheet of plastic wrap or wax paper.
- Roll the butter into a log and twist the ends of the wrapper. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours or until firm.
- Combine all the marinade ingredients in a resealable bag.
- Add the steak and seal the bag. Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours or overnight.
- Prepare the grill with two zones. One zone should be at high heat, and the other zone should be medium heat. Skip the two-zone step if you have a pellet grill, as you will simply turn the heat down when it is time.
- When the grill is hot, remove the steak from the marinade and toss the marinade out.
- Pat the roast dry with a paper towel. Brush both sides with oil and season it with salt and pepper.
- Place the roast on the hot grill over direct heat. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side until there is a brown char on each side.
- Transfer the roast to the medium heat zone (or turn your pellet grill down to medium heat).
- Cover the grill and cook for an additional 10 to 20 minutes. Flip halfway through the grill time.
- Grill the chuck roast until it reaches your desired doneness. Medium-rare is 130°F, medium is 135°F, medium-well is 140°F, well-done is 145°F to 147°F.
- When the roast reaches your desired doneness, remove it from the grill, cover it with a sheet of aluminum foil and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
- Serve the roast with slices of blue cheese compound butter and allow the butter to melt on top of the roast.

GRILLED CHUCK ROAST
This is the only hunk of meat my Dad ever grilled. And his "grills" were always on the ground using rocks or bricks to lay a grate on. Whether we were at home in our backyard, or on the river banks fishing, or at a park riding dirt bikes, this was what he grilled. I grew up loving this, couldn't wait the hours and hours it...

Steps:
- 1. My dad only used salt and pepper to season. And he would let me mix the BBQ sauce, which was about a cup of bottled sauce, enough Worcestershire sauce to just cover the top of the sauce and a few sprinkles of Tabasco sauce. But with so many more spices and marinades available these days, I had to add my own touches. Since he cooked over the coals he would wrap his roast in foil and turn it every so often, letting it cook for hours. Once he knew it was time, he would open the foil and start the BBQ sauce process. He would brush one side and let it cook a little bit, then flip it, still letting it sit in the foil and baste the other side with BBQ sauce. He did this many, many times. The final product was a fork tender roast with a through and through BBQ flavor.
- 2. If you have the time, marinade your roast as long as over-nite. Season both sides of roast with your favorite dry spices.
- 3. Using a gas grill, light only one side of grill. Place chuck over hot grill and sear both sides. Remove to unheated side and place on baking sheet or slotted grill pan. You can also place some soaked wood chips on a pc. of foil over hot side of grill for a smoker flavor.
- 4. With lid closed, cook over low indirect heat, mine stayed at about 275-300°. This was a 3.5 pound roast and I cooked it for 4 hrs. Cooking time will vary depending on thickness, if part of your roast is thinner, you might remove it sooner. Once you can easily stick a grilling fork through it, it's ready to remove.
- 5. You'll want to turn your roast every 30 min. and bast with BBQ sauce each time before and after you flip it. (Both sides)
- 6. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/barbecue-sauce-low-sodium.html?p=1 For this recipe I used 2 c. of my basic BBQ sauce and added 1 heaping Tablespoon of SW spice rub and 1 heaping teaspoon of Smoked Paprika.
CUBAN BEEF STEW
The traditional dish uses a good amount of olive oil and meat with a lot of marbling. This version is lower in fat, but is true to the spirit of the recipe. Although it does take a fair amount of time, it is not difficult to make.

Steps:
- Cut skirt steaks into about 3 or 4 smaller pieces so it's easier to fit them into marinade dish.
- Whisk orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, cumin, pepper, oregano, and cayenne pepper together in a large bowl. Place skirt steak pieces, 1 at a time, into the marinade to thoroughly coat them. Add sliced onions and toss with the meat.
- Transfer mixture and marinade to a resealable plastic bag. Squeeze out air, seal bag, and place on a dish. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours.
- Transfer pieces of meat onto paper towel-lined rimmed sheet pan to drain for a couple of minutes.
- Cook over hot coals. Grill first side 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and grill second side until internal temperature is about 125 degrees F (53 degrees C). Look for a shiny glossy surface indicating the meat juice is coming to the surface; this indicates the meat is just about done. Transfer to a plate and allow meat to rest a few minutes.
- Slice into 1/2-inch slices and arrange on a serving plate. Spoon accumulated juices over the meat. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with coarse salt and chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

Tips:
- Tenderize the beef: To ensure the beef is tender and flavorful, use a meat mallet or tenderizing tool to break down the fibers. You can also marinate the beef in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, garlic, cumin, and orange juice for several hours or overnight.
- Sear the beef: Searing the beef over high heat creates a flavorful crust and helps lock in the juices. Make sure the grill is hot before adding the beef and sear for a few minutes per side, or until the beef is browned.
- Cook the beef to your desired doneness: The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the beef and your desired level of doneness. For a medium-rare roast, cook for about 20 minutes per pound or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F. For a medium roast, cook for about 25 minutes per pound or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Let the beef rest: Once the beef is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and results in a more tender and flavorful roast.
- Grill the sweet potatoes and black beans: While the beef is resting, grill the sweet potatoes and black beans. Toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and grill for 10-12 minutes per side, or until tender. Rinse and drain the black beans, then toss with olive oil, cumin, and chili powder. Grill for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through.
Conclusion:
This Cuban Grilled Chuck Beef Roast with Grilled Sweet Potatoes and Black Beans is a flavorful and satisfying meal that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. The beef is tender and juicy, the sweet potatoes are caramelized and slightly smoky, and the black beans are perfectly seasoned. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or guacamole, and enjoy!
