Salt all sides of the ribeye roast. Leave the roast at room temperature for 45 minutes before cooking
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees
Place roast in a shallow roasting pan with the fat side up. Brush olive oil on all sides, followed by a sprinkle of black pepper
Roast for 15-20 minutes until the outside of the roast begins to crisp. Then, reduce the temperature to 325 degrees, and continue roasting for 1 ½-2 hours until your desired doneness level is reached. Medium-rare ribeye roast should reach about 125 degrees before removing it from the oven
Loosely tent foil over the roast and let the roast rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving
