Rotisserie Grilling Prime Rib Roast Food

HOW TO MAKE ROTISSERIE PRIME RIB

Steps:

• At least 1 hour prior to grilling, up to a day before, season and salt your prime rib roast, patting the seasonings into the meat so that it adheres. Allow it to come to room temperature prior to grilling.
• Use butcher's twine to truss the roast to make sure the meat is secured and compact.
• Skewer the roast on your rotisserie spit, so that roast is skewered through the middle, then attach your rotisserie forks and slide into the meat, and tighten the lock screws to secure.
• Fit the ends of the spit into the rotisserie sockets. Place a grill safe aluminum pan below the meat to catch drippings. Turn on your rotisserie so that it begins spinning, then turn your infrared heat to medium high, if using. Use this to sear the outside of the prime rib for for about 20 minutes, until there is a bit of a crust forming.
• Turn infrared heat off, and use indirect heat to bring the grill to 300 degrees F with cover closed. I turn on my far left and far right burner to medium-low heat to hold at 300 degrees F. If you do not have an infrared rotisserie burner, this is where you'll start, heating the grill to 300 degrees F.
• Spit roast the prime rib at 300 degrees F, until the internal temperature of the center reaches 120 degrees F. Pause the rotisserie and use an instant-read meat thermometer every 15 minutes to keep tabs on the temp. Thermometer should be inserted into the very center of the prime rib to test for doneness.
• When meat has reached 120 degrees F, turn off indirect heat (if using infrared rotisserie burner). Turn infrared rotisserie burner back on medium high to finish searing the outside for a few minutes, until crusty and brown. Internal temperature of center of prime rib should now be at 125 degrees F. If not using the infrared burner, just cook to 125 degrees F.
• Remove spit from grill, and set roast onto a cutting board. Carefully remove prime rib from spit and let meat rest for 15 minutes. Then carve in thin slices and serve warm.

KITTENCAL'S ROTISSERIE PRIME RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Cut small slits all over the roast then insert a half a clove of garlic into each slit.
• Rub olive oil all over the roast.
• In a small bowl combine the garlic powder with the Montreal Steak seasoning, then rub all over the roast using clean hands (at this point you may cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight if desired).
• Place onto a plate and allow the meat to come down to almost room temperature.
• Since the roast tends to shrink and will fall apart easily make certain to tie up the roast securely using cotton butcher's twine.
• Starting at the meaty end of the roast load onto the rod and clamp down to secure (keeping the roast evenly distrubuted on the rod).
• Set grill to medium heat.
• Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for spit-roasting over indirect heat (or according to instructions for your grill).
• Pour about 1-inch water or wine into a drip pan then set under the center of the spit.
• Attach the spit to the rotisserie mechanism, then cover the grill.
• Roast until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted about 3-inches deep into the center of the roast away and not touching the bone reads reaches about 130 to 135 degrees F. for medium rare (be aware that the internal temperature will rise at least 5 degrees (to about 135-140 or more) after removing from the grill, for the best results start checking the temperature after about 1-1/4 hours and once it reads 110 degrees F or so, keep checking it often for the perfect doneness).
• Carefully remove the meat from the rod.
• Place on a carving board and cover with foil (DO NOT POKE OR SLICE or you will loose a lot of juice from the roast!).
• Allow to rest for at least 20 minutes or more before slicing.
