Beer-Marinated Chuck Roast image

Chuck roast needs to be tenderized by marinating it in an acidic mixture containing lemon juice, vinegar, beer, or wine. The roast should not be cooked to well-done, as it will not be tender. Cooked in the convection oven, the roast develops a deep, rich brown on the outside while the meat inside stays tender and juicy. For this recipe to work best, be sure to select a roast that is at least 3 inches thick.

Yield makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 3- to 3 1/2-pound boneless chuck roast, 3 inches thick
1 cup beer
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves, or 1 teaspoon dried
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme

Steps:

  • Place the roast in a gallon-sized zip-top plastic bag. Add all the remaining ingredients and seal the bag. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Position the oven racks so that the top rack is in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to convection roast at 400°F. Coat the roasting rack with nonstick spray; place the roast on the rack in a shallow roasting pan and brush with the marinade. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Roast for 55 to 60 minutes or until the oven probe or an instant-read thermometer registers 135°F for medium rare. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. The temperature will rise as the roast rests.
  • To carve, cut the roast diagonally across the grain.
