Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 ribeye roast (bone-in or boneless, 3–6 pounds)

  • 2–4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)

  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)

  • 2–4 tablespoons kosher salt (to taste)

  • 1–2 tablespoons black pepper (to taste)

  • Optional: 1 onion, sliced (for roasting pan)

  • Optional: Beef broth or red wine (for deglazing and sauce)

Instructions

  1. :
    Remove the ribeye roast from the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. :
    In a bowl, mix softened butter, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Rub this mixture all over the roast. Generously season with salt and pepper on all sides35.

  3. :
    Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the roast in a roasting pan (onion slices underneath, if using). Roast for 15–20 minutes to develop a crust.

  4. :
    Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). Continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness:

    • Rare: 120–125°F (49–52°C)

    • Medium-rare: 130–135°F (54–57°C)

    • Medium: 140–145°F (60–63°C)
      Use a meat thermometer for accuracy. Total roasting time is about 13–15 minutes per pound35.

  5. :
    Remove roast from oven, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 15–30 minutes. This step is crucial for juicy, tender slices.

  6. :
    Carve against the grain and serve with your favorite sauce and sides, such as asparagus or roasted vegetables.

Notes

  • Searing at high heat creates a flavorful crust.

  • Letting the roast rest before slicing keeps it juicy.

  • Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.

  • Customize the herb rub with your favorite spices.
