Manhattan Roast with Asian Chimichurri
A new twist on traditional chimichurri, this one includes some Asian flavors of sesame, fish sauce and soy to create a delicious yet light sauce to accompany a perfectly cooked roast. We served it with a Manhattan roast but any big cut of beef would be well-complimented by this sauce.
Equipment
- Meater thermometer
- Traeger grill
Ingredients
- 1 Manhattan Roast or other large cut of beef about 3-4 pounds
- 4 tbsp seasoning of your choice I used my Garlic Junkie
- 1 tbsp oil
For the Sauce
- 2 tbsp cilantro
- 2 tbsp parsley
- 1 tbsp basil
- 1 tsp scallions or chives
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1/2 Jalapeno diced
- 2 tbsp Rice wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Fish sauce
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 tsp Olive oil

Instructions
- Using supersmoke feature, preheat your Traeger grill to 225*
- Prep the meat by first coating it in a layer of oil
- Season the roast generously with your rub on all sides
- Put the Meater thermometer in the roast, following the directions. Then use the app to pick the settings for your cook
- Put the roast in the preheated grill
- Cook at the low temperature of 225* until the internal temperature reaches about 120* for medium rare. For a 2-pound roast, this should take about 60-75 minutes.
- While the steak is cooking, make the Asian chimichurri sauce
- Mince all of the herbs finely
- Press the garlic or use pre-smashed frozen garlic
- Dice the jalapeno finely and use only enough to taste-- jalapeno ave different levels of heat
- In a bowl, combine the diced herbs, garlic and jalapeno
- Add the rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce and oils to the herbs, garlic and jalapeno
- Stir well and season to taste-- set aside at room temperature
- As the steak is approaching an internal temperature of 120*, begin preheating your grill to high heat and include a cast iron pan or griddle. allowing everything to get very hot
- Transfer the meat, when it reaches 120*, to the preheated grill and sear on all sides
- Allow the roast to rest, tented on a tray or cutting board, for about 15 minutes.-- the Meater app will also alert you when it is adequately rested
- Slice the roast into 1/2 inch slices and serve with the Asian Chimichurri

Notes
For this recipe, we put the Garlic Junkie seasoning in a mortar and pestle to make the grind a little finer.
