Rib Roast Rotisserie Cooking Time

Rotisserie Beef Prime Rib Roast DadCooksDinner

WEBDec 17, 2009 · Remove from the refrigerator, take off the plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for the last two hours.) Prepare the grill: …

1. Two hours before cooking, trim any excess fat off the outside of the rib roast, then sprinkle evenly with the kosher salt. Let the salted roast rest at room temperature for two hours. (You can salt the roast up to 24 hours in advance; if you do, wrap the roast tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until two hours before cooking. Remove from the refrigerator, take off the plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for the last two hours.)
2. Prepare your rotisserie for cooking. Set it up for indirect high heat (450°F+) for a 4-6 pound roast, or medium-high heat (400°F) for a 6+ pound roast. For my Weber kettle, I light a chimney starter full of charcoal for high, or 3/4 full for medium-high. Once the charcoal is covered in ash, I pour it in two equal piles on the sides of the grill, and put the drip pan in the middle, between the piles. On my Weber Summit, I turn burners 1 and 6 to high, and set the infrared rotisserie burner to high, preheat the grill for 10 minutes, then adjust the burners to get my target temperature.
3. While the grill is heating, truss the roast between each bone with the butcher’s twine, skewer the roast on your rotisserie spit, and secure to the spit with the spit forks.
4. Put the spit on the rotisserie, start the motor spinning, and cook with the lid closed. (On a charcoal grill, add 16 coals (8 to each pile) after each hour of cooking to keep the heat going; on a gas grill with an infrared rotisserie burner, turn off the infrared burner after the roast is browning well, about 30 minutes.) The roast is done when it reaches 120°F in the thickest part for medium-rare (115°F for rare, 125°F for medium. Beyond that, you’re on your own.) The cooking time is determined by the thinnest part of the roast. Assume about 15 minutes a pound of cooking time up to eight pounds. (After that, the width of the roast becomes more important than the weight and the cooking time levels off.) A four pound roast is done in about an hour; start checking the temperature after 45 minutes. An eight pound or larger roast will be done in about 2 hours; start checking the temperature at an hour and a half. Check the temperature every 10-15 minutes, depending on how close you’re gett

Rotisserie Prime Rib Roast, Reverse Seared on a Gas Grill

WEBDec 19, 2013 · Set the grill up for indirect low heat, with a drip pan in the middle, and the outer burners set for a grill temperature of 250°F. Cook …

1. The night before cooking, season the roast with the salt and pepper. Put the roast in a baking dish, using the bones as a rack to lift it off the bottom of the dish, and refrigerate overnight. One hour before cooking, remove the roast from the refrigerator.
2. Set the grill up for rotisserie cooking at low heat (250°F). For my Weber Summit, this means removing the grates, turning the two outer burners (burners 1 and 6) to medium, and leaving the infrared rotisserie burner off. Then I put my drip pan in the middle, over the unlit burners, and let the grill preheat for ten to fifteen minutes.
3. While the grill is preheating, truss and spit the roast. Truss the roast in between each of the bones, pulling it into into a tight cylinder. Run the spit through the center of the roast, slightly towards the bone side to balance out the bones. Secure the roast to the spit with the spit forks.
4. Put the spit on the rotisserie and start it spinning. We’re cooking the roast until it reaches an internal temperature of 110°F for medium-rare. (Cook to 100°F for rare, 120°F for medium.) This will take about 2 1/2 hours, but the time will vary – go by temperature, not by time. Check the temperature of the roast after 1 hour of cooking (it should be about 50°F , then again after 2 hours of cooking (it should be about 90°F). At that point, start checking every fifteen minutes – you want to get as close to 110°F as you can, without going over (I quit at 108°F – close enough). As soon as the roast reaches 110°F, turn the grill to high heat. On my Summit, I turn the outer burners up to high, then light the infrared rotisserie burner and set it to high. Sear the roast on high for 15 to 30 minutes, until it is well browned on the outside, and the internal temperature measures 120°F for medium-rare. (115°F for rare, 130°F for medium).
