Cost: $50-$70
Ingredients
- 1 5-pound ribeye roast (see cooking guide in NOTES) (bone-in or boneless)
- 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 3/4 teaspoon onion salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Remove the roast from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 1 1/2 hours. This helps the roast cook evenly.
- Sprinkle the roast with garlic salt, onion salt, and pepper.
- Slather the roast all over with butter. I often add the garlic salt and onion salt to the butter instead of sprinkling it on the roast. Either is fine.
- Place the seasoned roast on a rack in a foil-lined roasting pan or large baking pan. Place a meat thermometer in the center of the roast not touching bone or fat.
- Bake, uncovered, according to baking time guide in NOTES below. Times will vary with size of roast, bone-in vs. boneless, and the desired degree of doneness.
- Remove from the oven. Cover with foil and let stand at room temperature 20 minutes. Temperature will rise between 5 and 10 degrees while resting.
