Ingredients

For the Garlic Butter:

  • 1 cup salted butter softened
  • 6 cloves garlic minced

For the Roast:

  • 1 4-pound bone-in rib-eye roast at room temperature
  • Garlic salt with parsley flakes
  • Cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

Preparation Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened salted butter with the minced garlic. Mix well until the garlic is evenly distributed throughout the butter.
  • Take your rib eye roast and generously season it with garlic salt and cracked black pepper on all sides.
  • Using a brush or your hands, spread the garlic butter mixture over the entire surface of the roast.
  • Allow the seasoned roast to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  • Place the rib eye roast in the roasting pan, bone side down. Roast it in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
  • Once the desired temperature is reached, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for at least 15-20 minutes.
