Rotisserie Top Round Roast With Garlic And Herbs Recipes

GARLIC HERB BEEF TOP ROUND ROAST RECIPE

Steps:

• The night before you plan to cook the roast, rub 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt evenly over the meat. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Or at least do this step 6 hours ahead of cooking.
• At least one hour before roasting, remove the roast from the refrigerator to take the chill off.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Pat the roast dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture from the meat.
• Rub the roast all over with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
• In a small bowl mix the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and garlic.
• Evenly rub the garlic herb mixture on all sides the roast
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it just begins to simmer. Add the roast and sear on all sides until browned (including the sides and the ends), about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer the roast to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil (easy clean up).
• Roast the meat for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the meat reaches 115 degrees F on a meat thermometer. Turn the oven off, leaving the roast in the oven for another 30-40 minutes, or until the roast reaches an internal temperature of 130 degrees F for medium-rare (I remove it at about 123 degrees F it will continue to cook while resting) or 140 degrees F for medium. Do not cook the roast past medium it will be too dry!
• Remove the roast from the oven to a carving board and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes. Slice the meat as thinly as possible and serve.

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.
