When I think of roast beef, I think of low and slow cooking in a roasting pan filled with veggies and a crisp fall afternoon. I certainly don't think open flame, charcoal, and a barbecue. Grill-roasted beef? Not something I'd ever tried.

Until now.

A roast holds masses of flavor at a less expensive price. It also comes in a manageable size for dinner with loads of room for a few inventive meals from the leftovers.

Classic oven-cooked roast beef is hard to top in the down-home comfort food category, but after making grill-roasted beef, I may never go back.

So if you haven't tried cooking on the grill yet, this is the perfect opportunity for you to do so.

What You'll Need

First of all, start with good beef. Now, by 'good' I don't mean go buy the most expensive cut you can afford.

You can find a great cut that is affordable, overlooked, and loaded with flavor!

A sirloin tip roast is one of my favorites. It's a lean cut from the round (which is a great muscle for flavor).

Because it's a well-used muscle, it isn't as tender as others, so it's ideal for a slower cook. But in my opinion, one of the best for grilling, especially when it's all said and done and sliced thin for sandwiches, or… just for nibbling.

Grilling roast beef is easier than you think. And, duh, you can do it outdoors. Double win right?

Most of us think about holiday meals and carolers by the window while the roast is simmering along in the oven. And I am not trying to take that idyllic vision of a holiday roast away from you.

But I'm going to add another version to your mental tally.

So gather your grilling tools recipe ingredients and let's learn how to grill a roast on the grill!

How to Grill a Beef Roast

Grilling a roast can be intimidating but don't let that deter you!  Most people love grilling for thin cuts, like steaks and burgers where some heat and a few fancy spatula flips can make magic happen. But grilling a whole roast can be an idea that many never even take on.

When it comes to grilling cuts of beef roast there really isn't too much of a distinction between turning the oven on and letting things get preheated. It really is simple!

In this recipe, we are using a charcoal grill (I also share what to do if using a gas grill).

We will be creating a charcoal heat source that is able to withstand the continuance of the cooking and grilling while the lid is closed so that we can have that convection heat for even cooking that is so crucial.

How Long Does it Take to Cook a Roast on the Grill?

First, you have to take the grill to a balanced temperature for 30 minutes. How long the roast will take to cook is dependent on the size and the heat on the grill. Obviously, the bigger the weight is, the longer it is to cook.

This is where an internal thermometer becomes super helpful.

A 3-pound roast with a grill around 350-400 degrees will take about a one-hour cooking time to reach an inner temperature of 125 degrees and 20 minutes to rest before slicing.

Should I use a Sirloin or a Chuck Roast?

What is the difference between sirloin and chuck roast? Is one better than the other? The obvious answer is they are cuts from different areas of the cow but more importantly is why one is preferred over the other for grilling.

I prefer the sirloin for this recipe because it is more tender and doesn't need extra moisture.  A chuck roast is more appropriate for the low and slow oven roasting method or for cooking to shred (a higher internal temperature)

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 1 hour

Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp minced fresh rosemary
  • 4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp pepper
  • 3 lbs top sirloin roast, trimmed of all visible fat
  • 1 (13 x 9 inch) disposable aluminum roasting pan

Instructions

  1. Combine the garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper in a bowl.
  2. Pat the roast dry with paper towels and sprinkle evenly with salt mixture.
  3. Wrap the roast with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 18 to 24 hours.
  4. Punch fifteen 1/4-inch holes in the center of the roasting pan, which should be about the size of the roast, and set aside.

For a charcoal grill:

  1. Open the bottom grill vents completely.
  2. Light a large chimney starter half filled with charcoal briquettes (50 briquettes; 3 quarts).
  3. When the coals are hot, spread them in an even layer over one-third of the grill.
  4. Set the cooking grate in place, cover and open the lid vents halfway. Heat the grill until hot, about 5 minutes.

For a gas grill:

  1. Turn all burgers to high, cover and heat the grill until got, about 15 minutes.
  2. Turn the primary burner to medium and turn off the other burners. (Adjust the primary burner as needed to maintain the grill temperature around 325 degrees F.)

Once Your Grill is Ready

  1. Clean and oil the cooking grate.
  2. Place the roast on the hotter part of the grill and cook (covered if using gas) until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes, turning as needed.
  3. Place the roast in the pan over the holes and transfer the pan to the cooler part of the grill.
  4. Cover (positioning the lid vents over the meat if using charcoal) and cook until the roast registers 125 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer (for medium-rare), 40 to 60 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
  5. Transfer the roast to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 20 minutes. Transfer the roast to a carving board and cut across the grain into thin slices.
