Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds eye of round roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or regular)
- 0.5 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Start by trimming any excess fat or silver skin from the eye of round roast. Pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, rosemary, and thyme to form a flavorful paste.
Rub the seasoning paste all over the roast, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let the roast sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat your grill to a medium heat of around 300°F (150°C). Set up your grill for indirect cooking, with one side lit and the other side unlit, or use a charcoal grill with adequate spacing for indirect heat.
Set up your rotisserie attachment according to the manufacturer's instructions. Skewer the seasoned roast securely onto the rotisserie rod and tighten the forks to hold the meat in place.
Place a drip pan underneath the roast on the grill to catch drippings and prevent flare-ups. Add 1 cup of water mixed with apple cider vinegar to the pan to create steam and enhance the flavor.
Turn on the rotisserie motor and close the grill lid. Let the roast cook, basting occasionally with its own juices or drippings, for 2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare or to your desired level of doneness.
Once done, carefully remove the rotisserie rod from the grill. Tent the roast loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the roast thinly against the grain and serve warm alongside your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
