How to Make Barbecued Chuck Roast

  1. Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels and sprinkle both sides generously with meat tenderizer.
  2. Place the seasoned roast in a shallow baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  4. Pour the marinade over the roast, ensuring it's coated evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, turning the roast halfway through.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium heat (approximately 350-400°F). Place the marinated chuck roast on the grill grates, about 6 inches from the heat source.
  6. Grill for approximately 35-45 minutes for medium-rare, turning the roast and basting generously with the marinade every 10-15 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (130-135°F for medium-rare).
  7. Once cooked to your liking, remove the roast from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
