Mayor's piece

Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 1 ½ kg beef, up to 2 kg, (Bürgermeisterstück)
• Barbecue sauce
• oil
• 1 tbsp rosemary
• 1 tbsp marjoram
• 1 tbsp thyme
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• 1 tbsp paprika powder
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper, coarsely ground
• some water or beer

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 45 minutes

A lockable grill and a drip tray are required

Make a spice mix from the spices. Then score the meat. To do this, carefully cut a diamond shape into the fat layer with a sharp knife – do not cut all the way through to the meat. First marinate the side with the fat cap. You don’t need oil for this, as the spice mix adheres well. Then lightly oil the back of the meat and rub the spice mix into the meat as well. Cover the meat completely. Place a drip tray under the grill grate, place the meat on top, and pour a little water or beer into the drip tray. This creates a humid environment in the grill, and the liquid from the drip tray can also be used to make a flavorful sauce. Grill the meat indirectly at 180°C for about 1.5 hours.
