ROTISSERIE – Mediocre Food

Picanha: Tri Tip of the Amazon

If there’s a better cut of beef to BBQ than tri tip, this might be it. If you’ve been to a Brazilian steakhouse, you’ve probably had this, but chances are you’ve never made it yourself. It can be hard to find, but if you can get your hands on this cut, and you’ve got a rotisserie, it’s a must buy.

2-3lbs Picanha Steak
Susie Q Seasoning

Chimichurri Sauce:
1 c Flat Leaf Parsley, trimmed of stems
4 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Oregano Leaves
1/3 c Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tbsp Red or White Vinegar
1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
1/8 tsp Black Pepper
1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes

STEP 1:
Combine all chimichurri ingredients in a food processor, and roughly blend. Set aside.

STEP 2:
Cut picanha across the grain, into 3″ strips, leaving at least 1/4″ of fat cap. Fold each strip in half, into a crescent shape, fat side out, and skewer onto the rotisserie spit.

STEP 3:
Start rotisserie on a medium fire, and season right away with Susie Q once it starts spinning. Cook to medium rare.

Wood Grill Rotisserie Chicken

This is the best ever. If you have a barbecue that can accept a rotisserie attachment, such as the Weber Kettle grills, I highly recommend adding one even if this is the only thing you use it for. It’ll be worth it, I promise.

1 Whole Chicken
Susie Q Seasoning
1 Yellow Onion (cut into wedges)
1 Apple (cut into wedges)

STEP 1:
Stuff the chicken with the onion and apple.

STEP 2:
Skewer the chicken onto the rotisserie. Tie the legs together, and fold the wing tips behind the back as shown in the image above.

STEP 3:
Build small fires with your preferred wood on each side of the rotisserie, being careful the flames do not come too close to the chicken. On a 22″ Weber Kettle, about one 12″ log at a time on each side is just about right. Season the chicken right away, once it is spinning.

STEP 4:
Rotisserie chicken for 2 to 3 hours until cooked through and skin is browned. Be careful the skin doesn’t brown too quickly. Adjust fire if necessary.
