1. I began by covering the meat, both sides, with McCormick Grill Mates Roasted Garlic and Herb, crushed red pepper, and black pepper before wrapping it in a foil pocket.

2. Next, I preheated the grill to about 200 degrees, then placed the foil covered meat on the front burner - low.

3. An hour later I flipped the meat. Grill temp 225 degrees.

4. After another hour I flipped it again. Grill temp 250 degrees.

5. To sear to a light char, at the next hour I removed the foil, keeping the heat to a high-medium.

6. 20 minutes passed and the inner temp was 120 degrees. I re-wrapped the meat and placed it back on the front burner - low at 250 degrees.

7. After 30 minutes I flipped it again.

8. 15 minutes I flipped and checked the inner temp - 155 degrees.

9. 45 minutes later I pulled it off with an inner temp of 175 degrees and let it rest on the counter for about 10 minutes before cutting into it.

To me, it seemed a little dry, but I'm my worst critic; everyone else thought it was juicy. I am happy with how the seasonings turned out.
