Grilled Roast Beef Recipe
PREP: 5 minutes
COOK: 1 hour
READY IN: 1 hour
Ingredients
  • to 3 pound beef roast
  • cooking oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
  • Turn grill on high and allow to heat up for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Rub the roast with oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper on both sides. Other seasoning can be added if desired.
  • When grill is heat, place the roast over the direct heat and sear each side for 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Once seared, move to an area of indirect heat by leaving one side on medium-high heat and turning off the other side on a gas grill. Place the roast on the side that is turned off. On charcoal grill hot coals should be moved to one area and the roast should be place over the area where there are no coals.
  • Cover the grill and allow the roast to cook for about 1 hour for a medium rare 2-3 lb. roast. The temperature of the grill should be around 400° F. Check for doneness with a meat thermometer. For medium rare - 145°, medium - 160°, and well done - 170°. Cook for approximately 1 1/2 for medium and 2 hours for well done.
  • Be sure to check for doneness often because timing can vary depending on roast size and heat of the grill. If you don't have a thermometer for checking doneness you will have to cut into the roast close to the middle and check for desired doneness.
  • Roast should be removed from the grill when it is approximately 5° below desired temperature and then be allowed to set for 15 minutes before carving. In this time the temperature will rise approximately another 5°.
  • Carve and serve as desired.

  • TOPPING:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup flour
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup butter, cold
Directions
  • Butter the bottom of a 9" x 13" cake pan. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  • Sprinkle the topping evenly over the berries. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes at 350°F.
  • The blueberries should be bubbling and the topping should be a golden brown when done. Serve while warm. Serve with ice cream if desired.
