How to Make Coffee Marinade:
- Pour ¾ cup of strong brewed coffee into a small saucepan. Stir in brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasonings, smoked paprika, garlic and salt.

How to Grill Coffee Marinated Chuck Roast:
- Pat a chuck roast dry with paper towels and place in a shallow dish or zip top bag.
- Pour coffee marinade over chuck roast, covering on all sides. Set aside until ready to grill, at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare your grill to about a 300° fire using hickory wood for smoke flavor.
- Place marinated roast over an indirect fire and baste with marinade.
- Close the grill lid and cook for 15 minutes.
- Baste with marinade once more. Discard remaining marinade.
- Continue to cook with the lid closed 30-45 minutes or until roast has reached desired doneness. We pulled ours at about 145- 150°.
- Allow Roast to rest for 15 minutes before thinly slicing.
Chuck roast is flavorful but it is a tough piece of meat. Marinating it will help tenderize. Grill the roast to your likeness. We like it best cooked to about medium and thin sliced.
How to Store and Reheat Roast Beef:
Grilled roast beef will stay the freshest and best tasting if you slice it as needed. Wrap the roast tightly in several layers of plastic wrap and then a layer of foil. It will keep up to 5 days refrigerated.
Reheat leftover roast beef in a skillet with a few tablespoons of water or broth over medium heat. Sliced roast will reheat quickly.
Once we discovered how delicious roast beef is on the grill, we have not cooked one in the traditional pot roast way. Give this quick coffee marinade a try next time you are grilling.
It's delicious on any cut of beef, chicken, pork and even fish. Some of our favorites are Smoked Short Ribs and Marinated Pork Chops!
The Best Beef Marinade recipe is also great for grilling roast beef and any cut of steak. It's full of delicious flavors and helps to tenderize the meat and keep it juicy while grilling.

I wanted to have a chuck roast done in a different way. This recipe was extra special. The marinade was over the top heavenly. My husband commented how wonderful the aroma from the marinade was, which I made the night before. He was so pleased with the flavor of the roast. The slow roasted crust was mouth watering delightful. Thank you for this recipe keeper. A++

It says at least 30 minutes. Can it be overnight or would that over marinate?

I used 2/3 cup of brown sugar and it turned out to be plenty sweet. Next time I plan to add hot pepper flake. Seems to need a little heat. Absolutely delicious marinade.
