Rotisserie Eye Of Round Roast Baltimore Pit Beef Style Recipes

ROTISSERIE EYE ROUND OF BEEF

Steps:

• Set up your outdoor rotisserie grill for indirect cooking.
• Move lava rocks to one side and place aluminum drip pan in its place.
• If you have a newer grill like mine that uses no rocks, but has a dome over the burners, bend your aluminum to mold to the dome and create a pan for drippings.
• Light your grill and use the burner opposite from where you placed your drip pan.
• Leave the burner on high.
• Prepare your meat by sprinkling it with the seasoning.
• Rub into meat.
• Secure the meat on your rotisserie skewer so that it is over the drip pan.
• Place the roast on the grill and let the rotisserie run, covered for 20 minutes.
• At this time quarter your onion and carrot and place in drip pan.
• Continue to roast meat covered for 40 minutes, checking the drip pan occasionally for dryness and add water.
• After an hour use a meat thermometer to check for your desired doneness (160 degrees for medium).
• Place roast on a platter.
• Take drip pan, add 1/4 cup water and scrape pan drippings.
• Discard vegetables and mix pan drippings in with your favorite gravy Add a baked potato and a salad and enjoy!

ROTISSERIE EYE OF ROUND ROAST, BALTIMORE PIT BEEF STYLE

Steps:

• The night before cooking, season the roast with the salt and pepper. Put the roast in a baking dish, using the bones as a rack to lift it off the bottom of the dish, and refrigerate overnight. One hour before cooking, remove the roast from the refrigerator. (Or, salt and pepper the roast right before trussing and spitting, below.)
• Set the grill up for rotisserie cooking at medium-low heat (300°F). For my Weber Summit, this means removing the grates, turning the two outer burners (burners 1 and burner 6 or the smoker burner) to medium, and leaving the infrared rotisserie burner off. Then I put my drip pan in the middle, over the unlit burners, and let the grill preheat for ten to fifteen minutes.
• While the grill is preheating, truss and spit the roast. Tie a truss around the roast every two inches, pulling it into into a tight cylinder. Run the spit through the center of the roast, and secure the roast to the spit with the spit forks.
• If you don't have a smoker box, on your grill, wrap the wood chips in an envelope of aluminum foil and poke a few holes in it for the smoke to escape. Put the wood chips in the smoker box (or put the foil envelope under the grill grate, directly on the burner cover over a lit burner.)
• Put the spit on the rotisserie and start it spinning. We're cooking the roast until it reaches an internal temperature of 120°F for medium. (Cook to 100°F for rare, 110°F for medium-rare. I prefer my round roasts cooked to medium, pink all the way through.) This will take about 1 hour, but the time will vary - go by temperature, not by time. Check the temperature of the roast after 45 minutes of cooking (it should be about 90°F). At that point, start checking every five to ten minutes - you want to get as close to 120°F as you can without going over (I quit at 116°F - close enough). As soon as the roast reaches 120°F, turn the grill to indirect high heat. On my Summit, I turn the outer burners up to high, then light the infrared rotisserie burner and set it to high. Sear the roast on high heat until it is well browned on the outside, 10 to 15 minutes. The internal temperature should measure 130°F for medium. (115°F for rare, 120°F for medium-rare).
• Remove the spit from the grill. Be careful - the spit is rocket hot. Immediately remove the roast from the spit, transfer to a platter, and remove the twine. Cover the roast with foil and rest the roast for 15 minutes, then slice the roast as paper-thin as possible and serve.
