After consulting wikipedia it look similar to some of Tenebrionoidea but can't find an exact match.

This is a Buprestid beetle, and I think the species is Chalcophora mariana. It doesn't look all that coppery in your photos, but the large size and shape is perfect. Their larvae live mostly on pines, so perhaps there were pines close to your meadow? (Image from Wikipedia)
