Slow Roasted BBQ Beef Roast

Ingredients

  • pounds boneless rump roast
  • cloves garlic, sliced
  • teaspoon Spanish paprika
  • teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon pepper
  • /4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • /4 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    I start by cutting small slits all over the roast, then tuck the sliced garlic into each little pocket. This infuses every bite with mellow garlicky goodness. Next, in a small bowl, I mix the paprika, salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme. The Spanish paprika adds a subtle smoky depth, while the herbs bring an earthy warmth. I massage the spice blend generously over the entire surface of the meat, making sure it's evenly coated. Then it's time to set up the rotisserie grill. I thread the roast onto the spit, securing it tightly, and preheat the grill to medium heat. The roast rotates slowly, self-basting as it cooks, which keeps it wonderfully moist. I let it spin for about 3 to 4 hours, though it can take up to 5, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F for medium-rare or higher if you prefer it more done. Once it hits the right temp, I transfer the roast to a cutting board and tent it loosely with foil. This resting period is crucial—about 20 minutes—so the juices redistribute. Slice against the grain and serve. The result is incredibly tender, aromatic, and perfectly suited for a keto dinner.

Chef's Tip

My little trick is to let the roast sit at room temperature for an hour before grilling; this helps it cook more evenly. Also, a meat thermometer is non-negotiable—rotisserie times vary, so rely on temp, not time, for perfection.

Storage Tips

Store leftover roast in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Gently reheat slices in a skillet with a splash of broth to keep them moist, or enjoy cold over a salad.

Variation Tips

Serve sliced roast over a bed of peppery arugula with a drizzle of olive oil and Parmesan for a quick keto meal. Or shred it and stuff into low-carb tortillas with avocado and sour cream for tacos.
