    • salt

    • pepper

    • garlic powder

    • onion powder

    • paprika

    • thyme/rosemary

    • mustard powder

  4. Let rest 20–30 minutes at room temperature.


2. Make the Caramelized Onions

You can start these while the roast cooks.

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat.

  2. Add butter + olive oil.

  3. Add the sliced onions and sprinkle with salt and sugar.

  4. Cook slowly, stirring often, for 20–30 minutes, until golden and jammy.

  1. Toss green beans with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  2. Set aside—they cook quickly later.


4. COOKING OPTIONS

You can cook the beef on the grill (preferred for flavor) or in the oven.


Option A: Grill Method (Best Flavor)

  1. Preheat grill to 375–400°F (190–205°C) with indirect heat.

  2. Place beef roast on the cooler side of the grill.

  3. Close the lid and roast:

    • 45–75 minutes depending on thickness

    • until internal temp reaches:

      • 130–135°F (54–57°C) for medium-rare

      • 140–145°F (60–63°C) for medium

      • or 195–205°F (90–96°C) for fall-apart chuck roast

  4. During the last 15 minutes, place the seasoned green beans in a grill-safe pan over indirect heat.

They will roast until crisp-tender with light char.


Option B: Oven Method

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Place roast in a roasting pan.

  3. Roast 60–90 minutes, depending on the cut.

  4. Add green beans during the last 15–20 minutes.


5. Rest the Beef

Once cooked, transfer the roast to a cutting board and rest 10–15 minutes.

This keeps it juicy and tender.


6. Assemble & Serve

  1. Slice the beef roast against the grain.

  2. Top generously with the caramelized onions.

  3. Serve with the roasted green beans on the side.

  4. Add optional finishing touches:

    • drizzle of melted butter over the beef

    • sprinkle of parsley

    • squeeze of lemon on the green beans

BEEF DINNER ROASTED ON THE GRILL

(Complete meal: beef + potatoes + veggies)

What Cut of Beef Works Best?

Choose a cut suitable for slow grilling/roasting:

For this recipe, we’ll use a 2–3 lb (1–1.4 kg) sirloin or rib roast.


INGREDIENTS

Beef Roast

  • 1 beef roast (2–3 lbs)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tsp kosher salt

  • 1½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 large onion, quartered

  • 1–2 bell peppers, sliced

  • 6–8 whole garlic cloves

Vegetable Seasoning

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp salt

  • ½ tsp pepper

  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

Optional Add-Ons

  • 2 tbsp butter (for basting at the end)

  • Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs

  • Splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire over the meat

  • A drizzle of honey or balsamic over veggies for caramelization


INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare the Beef Roast

  1. Pat the roast dry with paper towels.

  2. Rub with:

    • olive oil

    • salt

    • pepper

    • garlic powder

    • onion powder

    • paprika

    • thyme/rosemary

    • mustard powder

  3. Let rest 20–30 minutes at room temperature while preparing the grill.


2. Prepare the Vegetables

  1. Toss potatoes, carrots, onion, peppers, and garlic with:

    • olive oil

    • salt

    • pepper

    • Italian seasoning

    • smoked paprika

  2. Place them in a grill-safe baking pan, foil tray, or cast-iron skillet.

  3. Set aside.


3. Heat the Grill

You’ll be using indirect heat, like an outdoor oven.

  • Preheat grill to 375–400°F (190–205°C).

  • Turn on burners on one side only (gas), or push coals to one side (charcoal).

  • Keep the other side off – this is where the roast will sit.


4. Start Roasting the Beef

  1. Place the seasoned roast on the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat).

  2. Close the lid and roast 30 minutes.

  3. Add the pan of vegetables next to the beef after the first 30 minutes.


5. Continue Roasting the Full Dinner

  • Roast another 45–75 minutes, depending on the cut and desired doneness.

  • Stir vegetables occasionally for even roasting.

Internal Temperature Guide

  • Rare: 120–125°F (49–52°C)

  • Medium-Rare: 130–135°F (54–57°C)

  • Medium: 140–145°F (60–63°C)

  • Chuck roast (slow): Roast until 195–205°F (90–96°C) for shredding

Use a thermometer for the most accurate results.


6. Optional: Add Butter & Herbs

During the last 10 minutes:

  • Place 1–2 tbsp of butter on top of the roast.

  • Add fresh herbs around the pan.
    This melts into the meat and vegetables, giving a glossy, steakhouse finish.


7. Rest the Beef

Remove from the grill and let rest 10–15 minutes before slicing.
This keeps the meat juicy.


8. Serve the Full Grilled Dinner

Slice the roast across the grain and surround it with the grilled vegetables.

500°F Eye-of-Round Roast


500°F Eye-of-Round Roast


Here is a classic, reliable method for making a 500°F Eye-of-Round Roast—tender, rosy inside, with a delicious crust. This is the famous “high-heat then no-heat” approach.


500°F Eye-of-Round Roast

Ingredients

  • 1 eye-of-round roast (3–4 lbs)

  • 2–3 tbsp olive oil

  • 1–1½ tsp salt

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 1–2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1–2 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp paprika (optional)

  • Fresh garlic or herbs (optional)


Instructions

1. Prep

  1. Remove roast from fridge at least 45–60 minutes before cooking (important for even roasting).

  2. Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C).

  3. Pat the roast dry and rub with olive oil and seasonings.


2. Sear by High Heat

  1. Place roast on a rack in a roasting pan.

  2. Put into the 500°F oven and roast for 7 minutes per pound.

    • Example: a 4 lb roast × 7 minutes = 28 minutes at 500°F.


3. Turn Off the Oven

  1. After the high-heat time is done, turn the oven OFF.

  2. Do NOT open the oven door.

  3. Leave the roast inside the closed oven for 2 hours.

This slow heat retention cooks the roast evenly and keeps it tender.


4. Rest & Slice

  1. After 2 hours, remove the roast.

  2. Let rest 10 minutes.

  3. Slice very thinly across the grain for the best tenderness.


Expected Doneness

Insert thermometer when you first remove the roast, not earlier.


Tips

  • Works best on lean roasts like eye-of-round, not fatty cuts.

  • Great cold for sandwiches.

  • Can add butter + herbs on top for richer crust.

  • If you want veggies in the pan, add them only during the initial high-heat sear—don’t open the door afterward.




ANOTHER INGREDIENTS
  • 1 eye of round roast (2 to 3 pounds)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 500°F.
