Rotisserie Roasts
Slices of barbecued Rotisserie Roast beef are fantastic hot or cold teamed up with salads and sides or tucked into sandwiches and wraps.
- For Premium Oven or Premium Rotisserie Roasts the cooking doesn’t get any easier – just rub, roast and relax!
- For Oven or Rotisserie Roasts marinade in the fridge for 12 to 24 hours before barbecue roasting. Enjoy done medium sliced thinly to serve.
Cooking 1, 2, 3:
If using a Premium Rotisserie Roast you can skip Step 1 or marinate 2 to 4 hours just for flavour.
- Pierce roast all over with fork. Place in large sealable freezer bag or shallow glass container with 2 cups (500 mL) of your favourite marinade; seal and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours. Discard marinade. Season roast.
- Place drip pan containing ½-inch (1 cm) water under grill. Preheat barbecue to medium-high (400°F/200°C). Insert spit rod lengthwise through centre of roast; secure with holding forks and place roast over drip pan.
- Insert meat thermometer into middle of roast avoiding spit rod (if using). Cook at constant heat in closed barbecue, to desired doneness temperature. Remove roast to cutting board; tent with foil for 10 to 15 minutes to allow temperature to rise 5°F (3°C). Carve into thin slices across the grain.
NO ROTISSERIE? NO PROBLEM:
Try indirect heat barbecue roasting to do barbecue roasting without a rotisserie.
- Place drip pan under grill in one half 2-burner barbecue. Light barbecue; heat to approx. 400°F (200°C) with lid closed.
- Turn off burner under drip pan.
- Place roast on grill over unlit burner and roast at constant heat with lid closed. (For a 3-burner barbecue, place drip pan and roast in centre of barbecue.)

Cook’s Notes:
Resist peeking – lifting the lid lets heat escape lengthening cooking time.
Wind, air temperature and grill type can affect grilling time – use a food thermometer to best determines doneness.
