Ingredients
  

For the Roast
  • 3 pounds chuck roast The primary protein that brings rich flavor and satisfying texture.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Adds moisture and enhances flavor; can be swapped with vegetable oil.
For the Dry Rub
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar Introduces sweetness and caramelization; feel free to omit for less sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic Delivers depth of flavor; fresh garlic is a fantastic alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder Lifts the savory profile; fresh onion can be used for a fresher taste.
  • 1 teaspoon ground rosemary Infuses earthy notes; other herbs like thyme or oregano work well too.
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme Complements the beef beautifully; swap in Italian seasoning as a variation.
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika Vital for achieving that signature smoky grill flavor.
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt Essential for amplifying all the flavors.
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper Provides that spicy kick; adjust according to preference.
  • ¼ teaspoon dry mustard Offers a slight tang; replace with prepared mustard for convenience.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Grilled Chuck Roast
  1. Bring the chuck roast to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.
  2. Combine olive oil, brown sugar, granulated garlic, onion powder, ground rosemary, dried thyme, smoked paprika, kosher salt, black pepper, and dry mustard in a mixing bowl. Stir until it forms a paste-like consistency.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the chuck roast and apply the dry rub to all sides, massaging it into the meat.
  4. Preheat the grill to 400°F. If using charcoal, add hardwood chunks for smoky flavor.
  5. Place the seasoned chuck roast over indirect heat. Reduce grill temperature to 325°F - 350°F and grill for approximately 45 minutes, monitoring internal temperature until it reaches 155°F.
  6. Remove from grill and let rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board before slicing.
