What You'll Need
- 1 (5-6 pound) boneless rib eye roast
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup beef broth
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a roasting pan and roasting rack with cooking spray. Place roast fat-side up on rack in the roasting pan.
- In a small bowl, combine butter, thyme, rosemary, onion powder, garlic, salt, and pepper; mix well. Rub mixture evenly over the beef.
- Roast beef 30 minutes, then reduce heat to 300 degrees. and continue to cook 1-1/2 to 2 hours for medium rare (135 degrees F) or until desired doneness. Remove beef to a cutting board and let rest 15 to 20 minutes. (This will help the beef retain its juices once it’s cut.)
- Meanwhile, on the stovetop over medium heat, add beef broth to roasting pan (make sure the pan is stovetop safe) and deglaze it by whisking the pan drippings for 2 to 3 minutes. Carve the roast across the grain into 1/2-inch to 1-inch slices. Spoon pan drippings over beef and serve immediately.
