Method

  1. Light and preheat charcoal or briquettes in a chimney starter, this will take around 15 minutes.
  2. Pat dry your room-temperature ribeye.
  3. Finely chop herbs and garlic. Zest the lemon. Mix together.
  4. Rub olive oil over meat, season with plenty of salt and pepper.
  5. Rub herb mix over the meat. Press to ensure they stick well.
  6. Truss with cooking twine every 3 centimetres (don't use a synthetic twine as it will melt).
  7. Secure meat to spit rod using prongs.
  8. Add pre-heated coals to spit roaster bed. Fix rod to spit roaster with pins. Turn on the motor.
  9. Cook until internal temperature of the meat is 57ºC (135ºF) for medium/rare / 63ºC (145ºF) for medium / 66ºC (150ºF) for medium/well. This will take around 2-3 hours depending on the height of your rod and the thickness of your meat.
  10. Remove off spit roaster and cut off twine while the meat is still hot. Rest for at least 10 minutes and then carve.
