Ingredients
  

  • 4-6 lbs ribeye roast
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste
  • olive oil

Instructions
 

  • 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
