This chuck roast is marinated to tenderize the hearty cut, then grilled over indirect heat and finished with a sticky maple Dijon glaze that caramelizes into a deep, savory crust. It works well for a weekend dinner when you want a smoked, steakhouse-style roast without a smoker, and slices beautifully for serving with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds boneless chuck roast
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Method
-
In a large bowl or zip-top bag, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
-
Add the chuck roast to the marinade, turning to coat completely, then cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
-
Remove the roast from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.
-
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, butter, smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt.
-
Simmer the glaze, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and glossy.
-
Preheat the grill for two-zone cooking, with one side on high heat and the other on low, targeting about 400°F on the hot side.
-
Remove the roast from the marinade, pat dry with paper towels, and discard the marinade.
-
Sear the roast directly over high heat, turning occasionally, until a deep brown crust forms on all sides.
-
Move the roast to the cooler side of the grill, close the lid, and cook, brushing with the maple Dijon glaze every 15 minutes, until an internal thermometer reads 130°F for medium-rare.
-
Brush the roast with a final layer of glaze, then transfer it to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil.
-
Let the roast rest before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
-
Slice the roast against the grain into thin pieces and serve with any remaining glaze.
