Best 5 Rotisserie Roast Beef Cooking Time Recipes

ROTISSERIE TOP ROUND ROAST WITH GARLIC AND HERBS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the salt evenly all over the roast, patting it down as you go to make it stick to the meat. Repeat this step with black and cayenne peppers, followed by herbs.
• Finish by applying minced garlic evenly all over the roast and patting it down as you go.
• Secure the roast on a spit and roast over direct heat, lid closed, at 325F (at the dome), for about 1 1/2 hours, until desired doneness. I pulled my roast at 130F internal temperature for medium well doneness. Add a couple of chunks of wood for some color and smoky flavor in your grill. I used wild cherry wood for this roast.
• While the top round roast is on the rotisserie, roast some vegetables in the oven.
• Let the roast rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing.
• Slice and serve with roasted vegetables.

ROTISSERIE ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium-high heat. We will be cooking this roast indirectly, so set up your grill accordingly.
• Combine the salt, black pepper, onion powder, and granulated garlic in a small bowl. Season roast liberally with mixture.
• You'll need to create a pilot hole through the center (lengthwise) of the roast. This will help guide the rotisserie rod through. Once you've made the pilot hole and have run the rod through the roast, secure the forks.
• Place the rod onto the rotisserie until on the grill and set the aluminum pan underneath. Fill the pan with hot water, close the lid, and cook the roast for 1 1/2 hours. Check ever so often to make sure the drip pan hasn't gone dry. Add more water if needed. The liquid makes a great jus or gravy once the roast is done.
• I recommend cooking until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees F., between medium and medium-rare. Watch for shrinkage as the meat cooks, and adjust the forks if needed.
• Once the roast is cooked, remove from heat with rod and forks still intact. Heat resistant gloves work really well for this job. Place onto a clean wooden cutting board, loosely tent with aluminum foil, and let the meat rest for 20 minutes.
• Carefully loosen forks and remove the rod. Cut into thin slices and use however you wish. Serve topped with gravy and mashed potatoes, or use in sandwiches, salads, and wraps.

SLOW-ROASTED BEEF

Steps:

• Pat roast dry with paper towels. Rub generously with salt (at least 1/4 cup) and pepper on all sides. Shake the roast gently, allowing any excess salt and pepper to fall off.
• Place a wire rack in a small rimmed baking sheet or lay 5 to 6 metal skewers across a large plate or baking sheet. Place roast on top of rack or skewers, making sure it is fully elevated above the bottom of the baking sheet. Place elevated roast on the bottom rack of your refrigerator, uncovered (or loosely covered with foil, if you are squeamish about raw meat), and let rest undisturbed for at least 24 hours and up to 48 hours.
• Transfer baking sheet with elevated roast directly from the refrigerator into a cold oven and set oven temperature to 225 degrees. Cook until the center of the roast reaches 120 degrees for rare, or 130 degrees for medium, as tested with a digital thermometer. Depending on the oven and the exact geometry of the roast, this will take 1 to 2 1/2 hours.
• Remove baking sheet with roast from oven and set on a trivet or on top of your stovetop. Let the roast rest on the baking sheet for at least 30 minutes.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet (any heavy skillet without a nonstick coating will do) over high until lightly smoking. Sear roast, turning occasionally, until well browned on all sides, about 4 minutes total.
• Carve into thin slices with a sharp knife and serve what you'll eat today. When finished, carve remaining roast. Carefully lay fanned slices into zipper-lock freezer bags in layers no thicker than 1/2 inch. Squeeze out as much air as possible and stack sealed bags on an aluminum baking sheet. Place in freezer until completely frozen. Store frozen for up to 2 months.
• To thaw, place one bag of frozen sliced steak on an aluminum baking sheet at room temperature until defrosted, about 45 minutes. It is important to use an aluminum sheet, as the high thermal conductivity of aluminum greatly speeds up the thawing process. Use thawed sliced steak as desired.

SLOW ROASTED BBQ BEEF ROAST

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor rotisserie grill for medium heat.
• Cut slits on all sides of the roast, and insert garlic slices.
• In a small bowl, mix paprika, salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme. Rub the mixture over the roast.
• Place roast on the prepared rotisserie, and cook 2 to 5 hours, to a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Allow to rest about 20 minutes before slicing.

ROTISSERIE BEEF ROAST

Steps:

• Pierce beef roast numerous times with a fork. Combine marinade ingredients in shallow container or resealable freezer bag, reserving 2 tbsp of the marinade for basting roast while barbecuing.
• Marinate roast 12-24 hours in refrigerator. Discard used marinade.
• Preheat grill to medium heat.
• Insert meat thermometer into center of beef roast.
• Cook on rotisserie over drip pan in closed grill over INDIRECT HEAT for about 1 1/2 hours (rare = internal temperature of 140ºF or medium = internal temperature of 160ºF).
• Baste beef roast with the reserved marinade while barbecuing.
