Easy Rib Eye Roast

Recipe View 5 mins Prepare the oven and roast: Preheat your oven to a blazing 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). (5 minutes)

Recipe View 3 mins Create the garlic butter: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and minced garlic until well incorporated, creating a luscious garlic butter. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins Prepare the rib eye: Using a sharp knife, make several small incisions across the surface of the rib eye. This allows the garlic butter to penetrate deeply, infusing the meat with flavor. Generously rub the garlic butter all over the rib eye, ensuring every crevice is covered. Season liberally with coarse sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Place the rib eye fat-side up in a roasting pan. (10 minutes)

Recipe View 20 mins Continue roasting at a lower temperature: Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and continue cooking until the rib eye reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare (130-135 degrees F), cook for approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the roast to monitor the internal temperature. (90-120 minutes)
