Ribeye Roast

This mouthwatering ribeye roast is seasoned with a simple dry rub and savory garlic butter.

Ingredients needed :

Apart from the meat, this ribeye roast recipe calls for ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. This is everything you need:

Ribeye roast. Look for a fresh ribeye roast that is well-marbled with fat, has a vibrant red color, and has an even thickness. I recommend buying this particular cut directly from a butcher because their cuts are generally more well-balanced and thicker than anything in a grocery store. Also, if it’s too big (3 pounds is the ideal size for this recipe), you can always use the off-cuts for shaved steak or steak bites.

Garlic. To mix with the melted butter. Please use fresh garlic because the flavor is unmatched.

Butter. The butter is melted, infused with garlic, then brushed over the meat to give it a rich flavor.

Dry spices. The meat is seasoned with a dry rub made from kosher salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian herbs. It’s short, simple, but boasts big flavors.

Brown sugar. Adding brown sugar to the dry rub adds a balancing sweetness to the meat and encases it with a caramelized crust. Don’t worry though, this roast won’t taste sweet.
