MARINATED GRILLED CHUCK STEAK

Steps:

• Trim excess fat from the steak, and place in a shallow container or a large zip lock bag.
• Combine all the other ingredients, stirring well; pour the marinade over the steak. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator at least 8 hours, turning once.
• Take steak out of the refrigerator to let it sit while you are getting your charcoal ready on your grill. This will help relax the meat so it is even more tender.
• Remove steak from the marinade. Grill over hot coals 8 minutes on each side, or until it reaches the desired degree of doneness. (I don't cook mine that long).

GRILLED CHUCK STEAK

Steps:

Stir in the vinegar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, and basil., Pour 1 cup marinade into a shallow dish; add the meat and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade., Drain and discard marinade. Prepare grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan. Lightly oil the grill rack. , Grill steak, uncovered, over medium heat until browned on each side. Move steak to indirect side of grill, using a drip pan and grill, covered, for 45-50 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), basting occasionally with marinade.

CHUCK ROAST OR STEAK MARINADE FOR THE GRILL

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup. Microwave for about a minute. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Let cool.
• Put your chuck roast or steak in a gallon size zip-loc bag. Add marinade. Close the bag, but suck out all the air before completely closing bag. Put in fridge and marinate for 24 hours. Turn the bag a few times during that period. You can marinate the day of, or give it a couple days. 24 hours seems to work quite well.
• Heat your grill until it is as hot as possible. I have a Weber gas grill, and it takes a good 20 minutes to get that thing smoking hot. My Weber has a thermometer and I'm guessing the grill hits 700 degrees. Get the meat and toss it on the grill. I use a timer -- 3 minutes to sear side one, flip, sear side two for another 3 minutes. If your roast is over 2" thick, go 4 minutes per side. You really do want to sear the meat -- black and smoke is not your enemy -- lots of flavor comes from that. After searing, shut the center burner off and set the others to medium (indirect cooking method for charcoal people). Grill temp should settle down to about 350. At this point I do stick a remote grilling thermometer in the roast/steak. I pull a roast or steak from the grill when it hits about 132 degrees for medium rare. So if the thermometer reads 82 after I sear it, there are 50 more degrees to go, or 25 per side. So I do flip it again when it hits 107 degrees. If you don't own a remote grilling thermometer, buy one.
• When it hits 132 degrees pull it off the grill, put it on a plate and put it in the microwave. I say put it in the microwave for 2 reasons -- 2 Labrador Retrievers who will steal a perfectly cooked piece of meat off the counter in the blink of an eye. At any rate, let the meat sit for 10-15 minutes, which gives you time to do the grilled asparagus, corn, garlic bread, etc.
• This recipe will never fail. Sometimes the cut of meat fails, but no matter what, it will have amazing flavor. For decades I have only used this with a chuck roast on the grill, but gave it a whirl with a thick cut ribeye. Wife said it was the best steak she ever had.

BEST EVER GRILLED CHUCK STEAK

Steps:

• Trim all but 1/4 - 1/2 inch fat from sides of steaks and then slash remaining fat with a knife at 1-inch intervals. Spread 1/4 inch of mustard over both sides of steaks -- do not coat sides of steak with the mustard. Place steaks in a shallow dish large enough to hold steaks in one layer and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight. Let stand at room temperature 2 hours before grilling.
• Prepare grill. I used charcoal sprinkled with wood chips.
• Brush grids with oil.
• Sear steaks over hot coals (or high heat) for one minute per side. Than adjust grids so steaks are over medium hot heat (on my grill I lower the grill grates or you can move the steaks so they are on the outer edges of the coal to reduce heat). Grill for 7-10 minutes on one side (7 minutes for rare, 8-9 for medium, and 10 for well). Turn steaks and grill for 8-12 minutes (8 minutes for rare, 9-10 for medium rare, 11-12 for well done).
• To serve, transfer steaks to serving platter or carving board and let stand 5 minutes before cutting across the grain into slices 1/4 inch thick or serve steaks whole.

BEER MARINATED CHUCK STEAK FOR THE GRILL

Steps:

• Slice onion paper-thin.
• Peel garlic clove and put it through the garlic press.
• Combine all marinade ingredients and stir well.
• Pour marinade over steaks. Marinade 4-6 hours, turning steaks periodically. Do NOT over-marinade because beer marinades make the steak bitter if soaked too long.
• Preheat your grill. You want a medium-high heat -- enough to get some good sizzle. There's no beating the flavor you get from a charcoal grill, but a gas grill will do the job. I do NOT recommend trying this on an electric, tabletop grill.
• Grill 7-10 minutes per side or until you reach the desired doneness.
• As you cook, drop a few bits of the onions from the marinade onto the coals or burner-covers to make an aromatic smoke which flavors the meat in a way really sets this recipe apart from other beer marinades.
• The marinade will have tenderized the steak significantly, but if you cook it well-done it will almost certainly be tough anyway so I recommend medium-rare to medium.
