Rib Eye Roast Review and Recipe

 Cooking a perfect, juicy rib-eye roast at home is surprisingly simple. Rib Eye roast (also known as boneless prime rib) is hard to beat for a delicious meal. For the last several years, this has become our New Year's Eve tradition. This year, I tried a different method, and it was perfect.

Rib Eye Roast

After cooking prime rib several times, I can confidently say the following method is the most rewarding.

Ingredients:

  • 4-6 lb boneless rib-eye roast (ours was 7 lbs.)
  • olive oil, 2 tablespoons
  • sea salt, 2 tablespoons
  • coarse black pepper 2 tablespoons
  • 2 sticks of butter, softened
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • Fresh Rosemary, chopped (2 tablespoons or more)
  • 2 more tablespoons of black pepper

Instructions:

  • Bring the meat to room temperature, remove the roast from the refrigerator 2 hours before cooking. This helps it to cook evenly.
  • I coated the roast with garlic-infused olive oil and then seasoned it with salt and black pepper.

Prepared Rib Eye Roast

  • I mixed the softened butter with minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and rosemary, then spread it over the roast before placing it in the oven.
  • I preheated the oven to 500 degrees and placed the roast in the oven for 15 minutes. This develops a flavorful crust.
  • After 15 minutes, I lowered the temperature to 325 degrees and cooked the roast until the internal temperature was 130 degrees.
  • Removed it from the oven, covered with tin foil to let it rest for 30 minutes before slicing.
  • For planning, you can figure about 15-20 minutes per lb. after the initial sear.
  • Rare: 120-125 internal temp.
  • Medium-rare: 130-135
  • Medium: 140-145
As you know, rib-eye roast is an expensive cut of meat, so be prepared to pay a higher price. For me, it was worth every penny.
