Simple Rib Eye Roast

Collect all the necessary components before initiating the cooking process. Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 degrees Celsius).

Combine the softened butter and minced garlic in a bowl, stirring until they form a harmonious union.

Pierce several holes into the rib eye using a sharp knife, allowing flavors to penetrate the meat. Apply the butter-garlic mixture evenly across the surface of the rib eye, followed by a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper to enhance its natural flavors. Position the rib eye in the roasting pan with the fat side facing upwards.

Expose the rib eye to the preheated oven for an initial 20 minutes.

Gradually decrease the heat to a moderate temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) and continue cooking until the rib eye reaches a desirable level of doneness, typically characterized by a reddish-pink hue and juicy center. To verify the internal temperature, insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the meat, aiming for a reading of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius) to achieve a medium level of doneness.

Present the finished dish and indulge in its delightful flavors!
