Cooking Chuck Roast on a Charcoal Grill
Equipment
- Charcoal grill
Ingredients
- 3 lbs chuck roast
- salt
- black pepper
- oil for spray the grill
- ½ cup apple juice
Instructions
- Season the beef with salt and pepper, and marinate for 30 minutes.
- While the beef is marinaded, let’s prepare the charcoal. You can use the snake method and line up the charcoal around the grill. Place some wood chunks on the top of charcoal for an extra smoky flavor. Fill the charcoal chimney with only ⅓ of the charcoal, and light them up. Wait until the top part of the charcoal is partially covered by ashes. And pour it to one end of the “snake” line.
- Preheat the grill and the grate for like 5 minutes. And then clean it with a wire brush and some oil. Add a foil pan to the charcoal, and pour into about ½ cup of apple juice, so it will keep the beef moist and catch the juice that drops off. Place the beef above the apple juice pan, close the lid and let it cook for about 2 hours. Try to maintain the grill temperature around 250ºF. Add more charcoal if it goes down 200ºF.
- Our goal is to have a medium level. When the beef's internal temperature reaches to 130ºF, move it above the hi-heat area. Sear both sides until the internal temperature reaches 145ºF. Take if out from the grill and rest for 10 minutes. Enjoy!
