BEST BARBECUED BEEF OVEN ROAST

Marinating is key to a great barbecued oven roast. Salad dressing makes a super easy marinade and offers lots of flavour options.

INGREDIENTS
4 - 13 lb   2 - 6 kg   Beef Rotisserie or Oven Roast (Inside Round, Eye of Round or Sirloin Tip)
2 cups   500 mL   salad dressing (e.g. balsamic vinaigrette or sun-dried tomato)

PREPARATION TIME: 10 min
COOKING TIME: 1 1/4 hours (for a 4 lb/2 kg roast)
MARINATING TIME: 12 – 24 hours

DIRECTIONS
1. Pierce roast all over with fork. Place in large sealable freezer bag with dressing; refrigerate 12-24 h. Place drip pan, containing 1/2" (1 cm) water, under grill.

2. Heat barbecue to 400º F (200º C), using medium-high heat. Discard marinade. Insert spit rod lengthwise through centre of roast; secure with holding forks. Insert meat thermometer into middle of roast, avoiding spit rod.

3. Cook roast in closed barbecue over drip pan, maintaining constant heat, until thermometer reads 140°F (60°C) for medium-rare (about 22 min per lb/500g). Remove roast to cutting board; tent with foil 10-15 min to allow temperature to rise 5ºF (3ºC). Carve into thin slices to serve.

Indirect Heat BBQ Roasting: Cook roast directly on the grill positioned over a drip pan that is placed on one side of a preheated barbecue; turn heat off under just the roast. Cook in closed barbecue with constant heat (as above). Roast will cook slightly faster than on rotisserie.

NUMBER OF SERVINGS: 11-12 (from 4 lb/2 kg roast) SERVINGS
