Is it ok to cook a medium size beef roast on the grill?

i dont want to have to use the oven if i can avoid it, we love the grilled taste, and just want a change of pace from the traditional "oven roast". i am already planning on vegie kabobs and a salad, and was wondering, since i already have the grill going, why not cook the roast on it. it is a 3# beef roast with beautiful marbling, and since we like our steaks rar to medium rare, we thought it would be like an extra thick steak and just need to coook a while longer.


any input?

Just make sure you use indirect heat - put the coals in a circle around the edge of the barbecue, and cook the roast in the middle. Keep the lid on.
Reply:I would say that if your are only going to cook it for the length of time it takes a veggie kebab to cook then it'll be pretty raw through the middle.


If it is the grilled taste you are after, why dont you start it off in the oven to get it going , then finish it off on the grill
Reply:Good idea,I would make sure to marinate it so it will not dry out.When we put thick steaks or roast on the grill,we put ours in foil with onions,garlic,butter and peppers.Never dry.We make burritos with ours...
Reply:Why not use a cast iron pot with a lid The BBQ is a fancy camp fire do the whole 9 yards in the pot,, potatoes, onion, carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower,, Your pleasure..
Reply:Sounds great just keep an eye on it so you don't fry the outside and leave to inside raw. If your grill is gas put it on low, if not maybe cut it in half so you don't burn it. Have fun cooking!
Reply:i don't know the cut of beef you have. that will make all the difference. check with the store you bought it from to be sure. if it's a tenderloin or rib you should be fine.


i would marinade it, then cut a small piece and "pan " fry it to check the tenderness. i've done that before and realized i had a tough piece of meat and saved myself from disaster.


good luck
Reply:If you are using a charcoal grill, the cooking will be a little more difficult than if using a gas grill. However, if you have a thermometer you can monitor the temp. (of the grill and the interior of the meat) A must for anyone hesitant to try cooking something new on a grill. Indirect heat for the majority of the cook time. Wrap in foil to maintain moisture and even cooking.
