I'm into chuck this month 4 lb boneless beef chuck roast 3 tsp kosher salt 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper 1 tsp Ancho chile powder 1 tsp garlic powder PREPARE ROAST 2 hours before cooking, sprinkle roast with salt, pepper, chile powder, and garlic powder. Let rest in frige. TRUSS AND SKEWER ROAST One hour before cooking, remove roast from frige. Tie roast every 1.5 inches, then place on rotisserie. (let it rest at room temperature until ready to cook) Prepare grill for cooking on indirect medium heat. COOK ROAST Put spit on rotisserie, start it spinning. (the grill shouldn't get much above 220) It is done cooking when it reaches an internal temp of 185*. (measured in the thickest part of the roast) SERVE Remove spit from grill, and let rest for 15 min. Slice roast into 1/2in thick slices. NOTE Chuck roast is a cut that is full of connective tissue. To get that connective tissue to melt, and give you a tender roast, you have to cook it to well done. It's almost impossible to overcook it. CONNECTIVE TISSUE BREAKS DOWN BETWEEN 160-180*
