MARINATED GRILLED CHUCK ROAST RECIPE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Whisk the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, shallot, garlic, parsley, Dijon, sugar, beef bouillon, salt, pepper, and meat tenderizer in a bowl. Add 1/2 cup of water and stir again.
- Score the chuck roast with a sharp knife making 6 or 7 large cuts all over one side of the meat.
- Add the marinade to a plastic bag and then add the steak. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the steak. Place it on a plate to catch any drips or leaks and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight. You can even marinate for up to 24 hours. Since the meat is so thick it will not break down easily.
- Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for indirect heat. Adjust the heat on the active burner to medium-high heat (400 F to 475 F). Sear both sides of the meat over the hot side of the grill, flipping halfway through cooking time, about 10 minutes total.
- Move the meat to the cooler side of the grill, close the lid, and continue to cook to your liking or until the meat registers 130 F to 140 F (medium-rare) on an instant thermometer or probe, 20 to 30 minutes longer. You can also throw in a few wood smoke chips on top of the burners or charcoal for a nice smoky flavor.
- Remove the roast from the grill and allow to rest loosely covered with foil, about 10 minutes. Slice against the grain (do the best you can, the grains can change across the meat due to the configuration of the muscle). Serve with your favorite sauce like chimichurri . Enjoy.

Steps:
- Place chuck roast, onion, carrots, celery, peppercorns, cloves, garlic, cinnamon stick, rosemary, and bay leaves together in a stockpot. Pour wine over meat and vegetable mixture to cover entirely. Cover stockpot and marinate for 6 hours in the refrigerator. Turn meat in marinade to make sure it is completely covered; return to refrigerator to finish marinating, about 6 hours more.
- Transfer chuck roast from marinade to a plate to rest; pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Pour marinade through a strainer and into a bowl to separate vegetable mixture from wine, reserving both vegetable mixture and wine.
- Heat olive oil in the stockpot over medium-high heat. Brown chuck roast on all sides, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium. Add strained vegetable mixture to stockpot; cook with the chuck roast until fragrant, adding more oil as necessary to prevent burning, about 8 minutes.
- Pour reserved wine back into stockpot; add salt. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer without removing cover for 2 hours. Remove cover, stir, and cook until meat easily shreds with a fork, 10 minutes to 1 hour longer. Transfer meat from cooking liquid to serving platter; tent with foil to keep warm.
- Return cooking liquid to a boil over medium-high heat; simmer until reduced to sauce consistency, 20 to 30 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick, rosemary, and bay leaves. Season with salt; puree mixture with a handheld immersion blender until smooth. Pour sauce over meat to serve.

BEER-MARINATED CHUCK ROAST
Chuck roast needs to be tenderized by marinating it in an acidic mixture containing lemon juice, vinegar, beer, or wine. The roast should not be cooked to well-done, as it will not be tender. Cooked in the convection oven, the roast develops a deep, rich brown on the outside while the meat inside stays tender and juicy. For this recipe to work best, be sure to select a roast that is at least 3 inches thick.
Yield makes 4 to 6 servings

Steps:
- Place the roast in a gallon-sized zip-top plastic bag. Add all the remaining ingredients and seal the bag. Refrigerate overnight.
- Position the oven racks so that the top rack is in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to convection roast at 400°F. Coat the roasting rack with nonstick spray; place the roast on the rack in a shallow roasting pan and brush with the marinade. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Roast for 55 to 60 minutes or until the oven probe or an instant-read thermometer registers 135°F for medium rare. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. The temperature will rise as the roast rests.
- To carve, cut the roast diagonally across the grain.
CHUCK ROAST OR STEAK MARINADE FOR THE GRILL
My Mother made this for decades growing up........ summer recipe at the cottage in Northern Michigan. I'm 52, so it has stood the test of time. Made it several years ago for the daughter of a retired butcher on our 2nd date, and two weeks later I was doing 2 roasts at her folks house for Mother's Day. Entire family was there, and I had never never met them. Major pressure!! But the recipe never fails.

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.

Tips for Marinating Chuck Roast:
- Use a flavorful marinade: Combine herbs, spices, and liquids to create a marinade that will infuse your chuck roast with flavor. Popular ingredients include garlic, onion, rosemary, thyme, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and red wine.
- Make sure the marinade covers the roast: Place the roast in a non-reactive container or bag, and pour the marinade over it. Make sure the roast is completely submerged in the liquid.
- Let the roast marinate for at least 6 hours, or up to 24 hours: The longer the roast marinates, the more flavor it will absorb. If you're short on time, you can marinate the roast for as little as 3 hours, but the results will be less flavorful.
- Bring the roast to room temperature before cooking: This will help the roast cook evenly. Remove the roast from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before you plan to cook it.
- Cook the roast according to the recipe directions: Different recipes will have different cooking times and methods. Be sure to follow the directions carefully to ensure that the roast is cooked properly.
Conclusion:
Marinating chuck roast is a great way to tenderize and flavor the meat. With the right marinade and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a simple and flavorful way to prepare chuck roast, give marinating a try.
