Cooking is as easy as 1, 2, 3 For Top Sirloin or Prime Rib Rotisserie Roasts, simply season or marinate for 2 to 4 hours before cooking. For all other Rotisserie Roasts, marinate before cooking for 12 to 24 hours to improve tenderness. To marinate: Pierce roast numerous times with long fork. Place in sealable freezer bag with 2 cups (500 mL) teriyaki sauce or Italian dressing; refrigerate. 1. Place drip pan under grill; add 1/2 inch (1 cm) water to pan. Using medium-high heat, preheat barbecue to 400°F (200°C). 2. Insert spit rod lengthwise through centre of roast; secure with holding forks. Insert meat thermometer into middle of roast, avoiding spit rod. Discard marinade (if using). 3. Cook roast over drip pan in closed barbecue to desired doneness. Remove roast to cutting board; cover loosely with foil for 10 to15 minutes. No Rotisserie? No Problem. Use indirect heat to roast: place roast on grill over drip pan on one side of barbecue. Turn heat off just under the roast. Cook in closed barbecue over constant 400°F (200°C) heat. PLANNED-OVER IDEA Bombay Wrap Pile thin slices of leftover roast onto Greek pita or tortilla.
