Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, finely chopped fresh rosemary, olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. This forms your herb rub.
- Pat the ribeye roast dry with paper towels to ensure the herb rub adheres well. Then, massage the garlic-rosemary mixture all over the ribeye roast, ensuring it's well coated, especially into the crevices and on the sides.
- Place the seasoned roast on a rack in a roasting pan, fat-side up. This allows the fat to render and baste the roast during cooking, keeping it juicy and flavorful.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 1.5 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast reads 135°F (57°C) for a medium-rare finish.
- Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest, covered loosely with foil, for 15-20 minutes before slicing. This rest period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the roast, ensuring a moist and succulent slice.
- Slice the roast against the grain and serve. Enjoy the aromatic and flavorful experience that each bite brings.
Tips
- For a variation, you can add other herbs like thyme or sage to the herb rub. Or even try a spice rub with a touch of heat using cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes.
