The first person I saw using the rotisserie on their Weber kettle was our friend

I was immediately enamored and kinda knew at some point I'd have one. Took a while but finally got it and am loving this thing. Had a couple of our best and longest standing friends over yesterday who could not make the rib roast dinner a couple weeks ago. Wanted to do something really nice for them to make up for missing out. Got a 4# eye of round roast out of the freezer on Tuesday to defrost and was off to the races.
Here's what I started with. Forgot to take a pic before opening up the package.
Seasoned the roast on Friday with Jeff's Texas rub, wrapped it, and back in the fridge overnight
Make some homemade Au Jus
Gravy for a potato casserole dish I'm gonna put together a bit later
Fresh green beans, chopped up homemade bacon, and diced sweet onions in the CI skillet. This is a first, but more to come later
Fire up the Weber and get the mesquite going. Added more a couple times throughout the cook to keep the flavor coming, then put the roast on.
Time to put the potato casserole together. I can do this in advance. Taters par boiled, black pepper, garlic powder, and gravy. Ryan ( Brokenhandle ) you're gonna love this one buddy!!
Yep...a nice dose of cheddar cheese
Progress pic of the meat. Had to add more charcoal and mesquite
Tater casserole and green beans onto the grill
Let the green beans, onions, and bacon cook down then add some diced tomatoes
Roast done and sliced. Carry over took it 3 degrees past where I wanted it to finish. Wanted it to max out at 132 but went to 135. Oh well...still amazingly tender, juicy, and the flavor was stunning. We love these EOR's!!
Beans all done
Tater casserole done
The whole spread. Got some dark wheat rolls from The Cheesecake Factory and Kerrygold Irish butter
My dinner plate...the first of several actually
Even though the roast went a few degrees over, this was still a very good meal. Both the beans and the tater casserole were firsts for me. Never done them like this before and the beans were a HUGE it. The flavor from the bacon and onions was subtle so as not to overwhelm the beans, but added a perfect background flavor. Personally, I was a bigger fan of the potatoes. Those things grilling in the gravy and cheese were extremely good. This was also the best batch of Au Jus I've ever made and I think it was using the Better Than Bouillon that made the difference. I'd always used granular beef bouillon in the past but am fast becoming a fan of the BTB products. The rolls and butter were brought by our guests and I gotta say, those rolls were exquisite!! I'd give my first born child and a pint of blood for the recipe. Well, this one is a wrap. Gotta start thinking about dinner for this evening. Y'all take care and stay safe. We'll see ya on the next one.
