Ingredients

  • Bone-In Ribeye Roast (about 4-5 pounds / 1.8-2.3 kg)
  • Unsalted Butter (1/2 cup / 115 grams), softened
  • Fresh Garlic (4 cloves), minced
  • Fresh Rosemary (2 tbsp), finely chopped
  • Fresh Thyme (2 tbsp), finely chopped
  • Fresh Parsley (2 tbsp), finely chopped
  • Salt (2 tsp), coarse sea salt or kosher salt
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper (1 tsp)
  • Olive Oil (2 tbsp), extra virgin
  • Optional: Smoked paprika (1/2 tsp)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the oven rack in the middle position.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter with minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if using. Mix well until evenly incorporated.
  3. Pat the ribeye roast dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil all over the roast.
  4. Generously slather the garlic-herb butter mixture over the entire surface of the ribeye roast.
  5. Place the roast fat-side up on the rack in your roasting pan.
  6. Roast at 450°F (232°C) for 15 minutes to sear the outside and build the crust.
  7. Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting. Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature: 120°F (49°C) for rare, 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare (recommended), 140°F (60°C) for medium. This usually takes about 60-75 minutes depending on roast size.
  8. Remove the roast from the oven once desired temperature is reached. Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for at least 20 minutes to redistribute juices.
  9. Slice against the grain into thick steaks and serve immediately with pan juices or extra garlic-herb butter.

Notes

Pat the meat dry before applying butter to ensure a good crust. Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness. Let the roast rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing to keep juices locked in. For dairy-free, substitute butter with vegan butter or olive oil-based spread. Rotate pan halfway if roast is unevenly thick.
