Barbecued Beef Roast



Barbecued Beef Roast


A barbecued beef roast should be smoky, tender, deeply flavorful, and caramelized on the outside. This recipe creates exactly that—using a bold dry rub, a moisture-locking marinade, and a low-and-slow grill method that gives you a perfectly juicy roast every time.


Ingredients (Serves 6–8)

For the Beef

Dry Rub (Bold BBQ Flavor)

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika

  • 2 tsp garlic powder

  • 2 tsp onion powder

  • 2 tsp kosher salt

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 1 tsp chili powder

  • 1 tsp mustard powder

  • ½ tsp ground cumin

  • ½ tsp cayenne (optional for heat)

Basting Mop Sauce

  • ½ cup beef broth

  • ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar

  • 2 tbsp ketchup

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1 tsp garlic powder


Instructions

1. Prep the Roast (Marinate or Dry-Brine)

  1. Pat roast dry.

  2. Rub roast with olive oil, Worcestershire, vinegar, and mustard.

  3. Coat generously with the dry rub, pressing it into the meat.

  4. Refrigerate 4 hours up to overnight.

    • Overnight = deeper smoke ring, richer flavor, and better bark.


2. Set Up the Grill (Charcoal or Gas)

Charcoal Grill Setup

Gas Grill Setup

  • Turn on one side only for indirect cooking.

  • Add a smoker box with wood chips.


3. Slow Grill the Roast

  1. Place the roast on the cool side of the grill, fat side up.

  2. Close the lid and cook for 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on size.

  3. Mop with the basting sauce every 30 minutes.

Internal Temperature Guide

  • 135°F (57°C) → Medium-rare

  • 145°F (63°C) → Medium

  • 155–165°F (68–74°C) → Well done or shreddable (chuck roast)


4. Sear for Bark (Optional but Amazing)

Once the roast is near target temp:

  1. Move the roast over direct heat.

  2. Sear 2–3 minutes per side until dark, caramelized edges form.


5. Rest and Slice

  • Rest 15–20 minutes before slicing.

  • Slice against the grain for tenderness.


Serving Ideas






Chef’s High-Value Tips

✔ Use a fattier roast for juicier results

Chuck or top sirloin performs best on the grill.

✔ Keep the grill lid closed

Stable heat = even cooking and deeper smoke flavor.

✔ Mop lightly

Too much liquid rinses off the bark — a light brush is ideal.

✔ Want extreme tenderness?

Wrap the roast in foil at 150–160°F and continue until 180–190°F for a “Texas-style” semi-braised texture.


Flavor Variations

1. Sweet & Smoky Style

Add 1 tbsp maple syrup to the mop sauce.

2. Spicy Cajun Roast

Use Cajun seasoning + extra cayenne in the rub.

3. Asian BBQ Beef Roast

Swap the mop with:

  • ¼ cup soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp honey

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

4. Coffee-Rub BBQ Roast

Add 1 tbsp finely ground coffee to the dry rub—gives incredible bark.
