    Balsamic Roast Beef is a flavorful grilling recipe to make for dinner this week. A simple marinade made with balsamic vinegar, garlic and spices makes this one of the best tasting grilled roast beef recipes that you can try.

    Have you ever grilled a roast? The beef flavor intensifies and the texture is more like steak than a traditional pot roast. Once you try it, you will be reluctant to cook a roast any other way. The balsamic marinade helps tenderize the meat and gives it tons of delicious flavor.

    How to Grill Balsamic Roast:

    Collage, ingredients for balsamic marinade, bowl of mixed marinade, arm roast in a casserole dish, marinade pouring over roast

    • Prepare marinade by mixing balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, fresh garlic, smoked paprika, dried thyme, onion flakes, dry mustard, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes together. 
    • Place roast in a casserole dish or baking pan. 
    • Pour marinade over roast and turn to coat both sides.

    • Tenderize roast with a meat tenderizer or a sharp knife on both sides, all over. This will press the marinade down into the meat creating a more flavorful roast.
    • Cover and refrigerate 4- 8 hours. 
    • Remove from refrigerator when you start your grill fire. Use oak or hickory for best smoke flavor and bring grill up to about 350°.

    • Place roast over indirect fire, pour any extra marinade over roast and cook with the lid closed for one hour. Check temperature of roast with a digital thermometer and cook to desired doneness. We cooked ours to about 150° for medium. 

    Beef Temperatures:

    • Rare:  130°
    • Medium Rare: 140°
    • Medium: 155°
    • Well Done: 165°
    • Remove from grill to a sheet pan or cutting board and allow to rest 15 minutes before slicing.

    How to Store and Reheat:

    Store leftover roast wrapped in plastic wrap in refrigerator up to 4 days. Roast can be served cold or warmed. 

    To reheat place sliced roast in a skillet with 2 tablespoons of water or beef broth. Cover and place over medium heat, cooking 5 minutes.
