To be fair, I used a London Broil and ended up baking in the oven after marinating for 48 hours. I cut the recipe in half as it was just under 2 lbs. I should have used the full recipe as it could have used more marinade.

I marinated it for 24hrs and I thought it tasted a little too vinegary.

I actually have never made this but something very very similar to this. For all of those who are saying this would be better with sirloin or roasting it in the oven for an hour or two, you are COMPLETELY missing the point. You buy a "chuck steak", not a chuck roast. If you can't find chuck steak at the store (as it is hard to find) you can cut up a chuck roast into no thicker and about a 3/4 of an inch wide. Marinated chuck steak is INCREDIBLE on the grill and much more flavorful than sirloin. Hope that helps. It also explains cooking times.

Not bad, but nothing spectacular. We marinated for 2 days, so the meat had plenty of time to absorb the marinade. Bf just fried it on the stovetop instead of grilling and then cut it up, mixed with rice and served on lettuce as lettuce wraps. We also used a sirloain steak. I'm a little skeptical about using a chuck roast, but I'm not a beef person so I could be way off base here. I didn't think there was a ton of marinade for the steak and flipped it a couple of times to marinate the entire piece of meat(to be fair, I halved the recipe because it was less than 2 lbs of meat that I had). Thank you for the recipe!

We have made this several times for cookouts. We have used sirloin steak instead of chuck roast and it is perfect. It is a favorite with kids & adults alike. This is one of our "keepers".

The meat was very tough, but flavorful.

The flavor of this is wonderful BUT I cannot imagining that this thing would ever get cooked on a grill in that short of time. I marinated my roast for almost 48 hours, then grilled it in a grill pan for 45 minutes and it wasn't even close to being reddish/pink in the middle, still raw. So I put it in the oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes and then it turned out perfect! Although it was after 9:00 pm when it was finally done, we wrapped it up and will be eating it again tonight. The marinade was great, it would be fabulous too on a different cut of meat(perhaps london broil or steaks) that are usually prepared on a grill. I will stick with perhaps marinading actual roasts and baking them in the oven.

This marinade was delicious; however, next time I will use a more tender cut of meat. Thanks for sharing! Ü

This turned out absolutely delicious. We had to struggle a bit with the time because of living in Colorado. Here, we had a 3 lb chuck roast and cooked in for 15 minutes per side. I will do this many more times. Delicious.

My family and I enjoyed this recipe. I baked the chuck roast in the marinade in the oven for two hours (covered with foil). I then skimmed the fat off of the marinade, thickened it using cornstarch, and served it over noodles. The chuck roast I used wasn't tough at all -- maybe because I marinaded the roast for approximately 20 hours prior to baking. I'll make this recipe again.
