Step 2: Grill Tafelspitz INDIRECTLY
When the grill has cooled down to about 70-80 degrees, generously rub the meat with sea salt and crushed mountain pepper, cover with herbs, and place on the grill:
Then drizzle the meat with a marinade of chopped garlic, ginger, and olive oil using a brush. Repeat this 2-3 times during the cooking time. Grill indirectly for a total of about 2 -2.5 hours at about 70-80 degrees until the core temperature is about 60 degrees (medium). Then remove the meat from the herbs, wrap it in aluminum foil, and let it rest for another 5-10 minutes. Then it can be sliced against the grain:
