Equipment

• Roasting pan with rack
• Meat thermometer
• Mixing bowls
• Foil

Ingredients

• 6-pound boneless ribeye roast
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 tablespoons kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 4 tablespoons fresh garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Prepare the Roast: Remove the ribeye roast from the refrigerator and tie butcher’s twine around it every 1.5–2 inches. Place it in a roasting pan and let it sit at room temperature for up to 2 hours.
2. Make Herbed Butter: In a bowl, mix softened butter with kosher salt, black pepper, rosemary, thyme, and garlic.
3. Preheat Oven: Heat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Rub the herbed butter all over the roast.
4. Roast: Place the roast in the oven at 475°F for 15 minutes to sear the exterior. Lower the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue cooking for approximately 13–15 minutes per pound until the internal temperature reaches 125°F for medium-rare doneness. Adjust cooking time based on desired doneness.
5. Rest: Remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a plate. Cover loosely with foil and let it rest for 25–30 minutes before slicing.
6. Serve: Slice thinly and serve warm with au jus or horseradish sauce if desired.

Recipe Notes

• Use a meat thermometer to ensure precise doneness; medium-rare is achieved at an internal temperature of 125°F–135°F.
• Letting the meat rest after cooking redistributes juices for maximum tenderness.
• Pair with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently to maintain flavor.
