Garlic-Butter Bone-In Rib Eye Roast
  1. 1

    Gather all the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, beat the butter and garlic together until well combined.

  3. 3

    Use a sharp knife to poke several holes in the rib eye. Rub the butter mixture all over the meat and season generously with salt and pepper. Place the rib eye fat-side up in a roasting pan.

  4. 4

    Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to form a crust.

  5. 5

    Lower the temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and continue roasting until the rib eye is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) for medium. Let it rest before slicing.
