TANDOORI ROAST BEEF

This is delicious hot or cold served with flatbread and a salad of greens tossed with apple slices, shredded cucumber and slivered red onion.

1 cup (250 mL) plain yogurt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, minced
1 tbsp (15 mL) EACH minced gingerroot, lemon juice and hot curry powder
1 tsp (5 mL) EACH chili powder and salt
4 lb (2 kg) Beef Rotisserie or Oven Roast (e.g. Sirloin Tip, Inside or Outside Round)
  Cumin-Scented Dressing (recipe follows)
  1. Combine yogurt, garlic, onion, ginger, lemon juice, curry powder, chili powder and salt in large sealable freezer bag. Pierce roast all over with fork. Place in bag with marinade; seal bag, squeezing gently to massage marinade into beef. Refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours. Discard marinade.
  2. Place drip pan containing ½ inch (1 cm) water under grill. Preheat barbecue to medium-high (400°F/200°C). To Cook with Rotisserie: Insert spit rod lengthwise through centre of roast; secure with holding forks and place roast over drip pan. To Cook without Rotisserie: Place roast on grill over drip pan that is moved to one side; turn off burner under just the roast.
  3. Insert meat thermometer into middle of roast, avoiding spit rod (if using). Cook at constant heat, in closed barbecue, until thermometer reads 140°F (60°F) for medium-rare, about 1-½ hours. Remove roast to cutting board; tent with foil for 10 to 15 minutes. Carve into thin slices across the grain. Serve with Cumin-Scented Dressing.

Cumin-Scented Dressing:
Combine ¾ cup (175 mL) EACH mayonnaise and ranch dressing, and 1-½ tsp (7 mL) ground cumin. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours for flavours to develop.

Cooking a rotisserie roast beef was so much easier than cooking a bunch of steaks or burgers – only 1 thing on the grill to tend to!
