Ina Garten Boneless Ribeye Roast – A Perfect Centerpiece for Any Occasion

Ina Garten’s boneless ribeye roast is a premium cut of beef seasoned generously with herbs, garlic, and salt, then slow-roasted in the oven to medium-rare. The roast is rested and sliced into thick, juicy portions. The result is a melt-in-your-mouth experience that delivers big flavor with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (5 to 6-pound) boneless ribeye roast, trimmed

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt

  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped

  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional, for extra depth)

  • Butcher’s twine (if not already tied)

Instructions

Step 1: Bring the roast to room temperature

Remove the ribeye roast from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour. This helps it cook more evenly.

Step 2: Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). Place a roasting rack inside a large roasting pan.

Step 3: Season the roast

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard (if using). Rub the mixture all over the roast, ensuring even coverage.

Step 4: Tie the roast (if needed)

If the roast isn’t already tied, use butcher’s twine to tie it at 2-inch intervals. This helps maintain its shape while roasting.

Step 5: Roast at high heat

Place the roast fat-side up on the rack. Roast at 500°F for 20 minutes to develop a crust.

Step 6: Lower the oven temperature and continue roasting

Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting for about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches:

  • 120°F for rare

  • 125°F for medium-rare

  • 130°F for medium

Step 7: Rest before slicing

Remove the roast from the oven and tent it loosely with foil. Let it rest for 20–30 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Step 8: Slice and serve

Cut into thick slices and serve with your favorite sides and sauces.
