4Using a charcoal grill build a medium hot fire on one side of grill to place roast and then place aluminum foil with sweet potatoes on side with out fire. Make sure you poke at least 12 holes in foil so smoke and heat get to all potatoes. Close cover on grill for 7 minutes then turn chuck roast and grill another 7 minutes. Turn potatoes each time you turn roast. Potatoes need to be fork tender so they may need an extra few minutes.
5Remove roast to a baking sheet tent with foil and place in a 375 degree preheated oven bake for 20-30 minutes If you like your meat medium to well you may want to leave in oven longer. We like it pink in the middle remove from oven to rest. Place sweet potatoes and black beans in large bowl add juice of one lime and fresh cilantro and toss gently.
6Remove tent from roast and slice on the diagonal place in center of platter spoon sweet potatoes and bean mixture around sliced roast and squeeze the juice of 1 lime over entire platter. Cut 2 limes into quarters and place over and around dish.
