Rotisserie Top Round Roast With Garlic and Herbs
Description
The preparation involves evenly sprinkling kosher salt, coarse black pepper, cayenne pepper, and dried herbs (basil, thyme, parsley) over the entire surface of the top round roast, pressing these seasonings gently to adhere. Pressed garlic is applied last to spread its flavor thoroughly.
The roast is then secured on a rotisserie spit and cooked over direct heat at 325°F with the lid closed for about 1.5 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F for medium well. Adding wood chunks, such as wild cherry wood, during cooking lends a subtle smoky aroma and color.
After roasting, resting the meat for 5-10 minutes helps redistribute juices before slicing. The roast can be served with oven-roasted vegetables prepared concurrently, rounding out the meal with complementary textures and flavors.
Ingredients
- 3-4 lb top round roast
- 1 Tbsp kosher salt
- 1 Tbsp basil dried
- 1 Tbsp thyme dried
- 1 Tbsp parsley dried
- 5 cloves garlic pressed
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp black pepper coarsely ground
Instructions
- 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.
