Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3–pound beef chuck roast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 cup beef stock (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your pellet grill according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Heat the grill to 225°F.
- Lay the cut of meat on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and drizzle 1/2 of the oil on the meat.
- Combine the spices in a small bowl and sprinkle half the dry rub on the meat.
- Turn the meat over and repeat with the rest of the oil and dry rub.
- Place the beef roast directly onto the grill grates, close the lid, and let cook for 2 hours.
- Wrap the meat in foil. Bring the foil up around the cut of meat, making the long sides even. Fold them down 2-3 times until the top of the foil is well sealed. Fold the short edges of the foil 2-3 times until the sides are sealed. Optional: add 1/2 cup warm beef stock to the foil packet before closing.
- Increase the temperature on the pellet grill to 275°F and place the packet of meat back on the pellet grill.
- Let the meat cook for 2 more hours and then check the internal temperature. The temperature in the thickest part of the meat should be 165°F.
- Once your target temperature is reached, remove the meat and let the roast rest for 45 minutes, so the juices redistribute through the meat.
- Cut the meat on a cutting board and serve with your favorite side dishes!
