Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1/2 cup Bourbon
  • 1 lg Onion; Thinly Sliced
  • 2 lg Cloves Garlic; Minced
  • 1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Dry Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 cup Wine Or Cider Vinegar
  • 1 Rib-Eye Or First Cut Chuck
Directions
  1. 1
    In a bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, bourbon, sliced onion, minced garlic, black pepper, dry mustard, salt, and vinegar to create a smooth marinade.
  2. 2
    Place the beef roast (rib-eye or chuck) into a large plastic bag or a glass dish.
  3. 3
    Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish.
  4. 4
    Refrigerate the meat for at least 1 hour, turning it 2 to 3 times to ensure even marination.
  5. 5
    Remove the meat from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Reserve the leftover marinade for later use.
  6. 6
    Preheat your grill or oven for roasting. If using a spit, secure the roast through the center or diagonally, ensuring it is balanced. Tie the meat if necessary to maintain shape.
  7. 7
    If grilling, place the meat over a drip pan with hot coals surrounding it, or position it 8 to 10 inches above the heat source.
  8. 8
    Cook the roast for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours, depending on desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer: 120F for rare, 135F for medium-rare, 145F for medium, and 165F for well-done.
  9. 9
    During the last 30 minutes of cooking, brush the meat frequently with the reserved marinade to build a flavorful glaze.
  10. 10
    Turn and baste the meat as needed to ensure even cooking and prevent drying out.
  11. 11
    Once the roast reaches the target internal temperature, remove it from the heat.
  12. 12
    Let the meat rest on a platter for 20 to 30 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
  13. 13
    While the meat rests, heat the remaining marinade in a saucepan until simmering. Serve the hot sauce alongside the sliced roast.
