Grilled Chuck Roast
Forget the slow cooker; this grilled chuck roast is bursting with flavor after marinating overnight in a sweet and tangy marinade. The marinade keeps the chuck roast steak moist and juicy while searing on a scorching hot grill to get the beautiful grill marks and charred crust. Then, top it off with a slice of delicious blue cheese compound butter and dig in!
The secret to achieving a tender grilled chuck roast is cooking it over indirect heat. You only want to sear the chuck roast over high heat for a short period. Move the chuck roast to a lower-temperature portion of the grill once you have the sear marks and crust you are looking for.
You can grill this chuck roast using your charcoal kettle grill, propane grill, or pellet grill. I prefer to use my Traeger to help get a bit of smokiness into the meat. Slice up the chuck roast and serve it with some delicious sides like these air fryer green beans with bacon or these grilled potato wedges.
The star in this recipe is the chuck roast steak. You can find a whole chuck roast at your butcher, or they may have chuck roast steaks already cut up for you to purchase. This article from Livestrong shows you how to break down your chuck roast into steaks.
Here is a quick overview of the process so you can grill up the best chuck roast! In addition, there is a printable recipe card below with more detailed steps.

This recipe is for a chuck roast, not to be confused with a chuck steak. Chuck steaks and chuck roasts come from the same cut of meat, but the chuck steak is thinner and will not need as much time on the grill. Adjust your cook accordingly based on the thickness of your chuck roast or chuck roast steaks.
Grill time will vary based on the thickness of your roast, the temperature of the grill, and your desired doneness. The best way to know when your roast is done cooking is to use a reliable leave-in meat thermometer or an instant-read thermometer.
Our chuck roast steak was 1-1/2 inches thick and was cooked to a medium-rare. It took less than 20 minutes of total grill time. If you use a pellet grill, you may not be able to get the initial sear quite as hot which can extend the cooking time.

How to Grill Chuck Roast
To grill a chuck roast, start by marinating the roast overnight in a sweet and tangy marinade. This will help infuse flavor and keep the meat moist and juicy. The next step is to sear the chuck roast on a hot grill to get those beautiful grill marks and a charred crust. It’s important to sear it quickly over high heat and then move it to a lower-temperature portion of the grill to continue cooking.
When grilling a chuck roast, you can use different types of grills such as charcoal kettle, propane, or pellet grills. If you prefer a smoky flavor, using a pellet grill like Traeger can add that extra touch. Once the chuck roast is cooked to your desired doneness, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve your grilled chuck roast with delicious sides like air fryer green beans with bacon or grilled potato wedges. The star of this recipe is the chuck roast steak, which can be found as a whole cut at your butcher or already cut into steaks.
