The outdoor spit!

For the first time this year, we used the outdoor spit to spit a whole sirloin tip during Western weekend at our trailer!

I made lots of slits in the beef and inserted slices of garlic.  Then I covered the entire ball of meat with a mix of coarse ground pepper, sea sale and some rosemary.  It smelled heavenly!  Let it sit overnight.

Around 1pm, they started the charcoal.  At 2pm, the beef was spit and placed over the coals.  by 5:30, it was a perfect medium/medium-rare!

This 12.5 lb roast fed an ample crowd with lots of leftovers!  Over the next day or two, we made lots of Philly cheese steak sandwiches with beautiful carved roast, fresh peppers from the farmer's market and lots of crusty fresh bread (Walmart bakery).
