I grew up eating pot roast that had been slow cooked for hours. I still love that fall apart tender pot roast but grilling roast beef is a whole other level of deliciousness. The texture is more like steak and if you slice it thin, it is tender and flavorful.

How To Grill Italian Roast Beef:
- Set the roast out to come to room temperature about an hour before grilling.
- Pat roast dry with paper towels.
- Drizzle with olive oil.
- Sprinkle with Italian Rub.
- Use a sharp knife and pierce roast all over, pressing rub into roast.
- Turn roast and repeat with olive oil and rub. Tenderize with a sharp knife.
- Prepare a grill fire to 300° with hickory or oak for smoke flavor.
- Place roast over indirect heat and cook with the lid closed.
- Figure about 15 minutes per pound for rare roast, 20 minutes per pound for a medium roast and 30 minutes for well done.
- Use a digital thermometer to check meat for desired doneness.
- Remove roast from grill and allow to rest 10 minutes before slicing. I recommend slicing the roast as needed, so that the roast beef stays fresh tasting longer.
