Herb and Salt-Crusted Ribeye Roll Roast
Place the ribeye roll roast on a large rimmed baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine the salt, garlic, rosemary, thyme and pepper. Rub the salt mix all over the roast.
Chill, uncovered, in the refrigerator overnight.
One hour before roasting, take roast out of the refrigerator and let stand, uncovered, at room temperature.
Heat oven to 500°F.
Roast the ribeye roll, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
Reduce the heat to 300°F. and continue to cook, uncovered for another 40 to 50 minutes until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the middle of the roast reaches desired temperature, 120° for medium-rare. (see Note)
Transfer the roast to a cutting board. Let the roast sit for 30 to 45 minutes before carving.
Note: It’s important to check the temperature of the meat regularly towards the end of the roasting time. This roast varies in size so your roasting time may be more or less. Remember, the roast will continue to cook after it’s out of the oven. Allowing the roast to rest gives time for the juices to redistribute throughout, ensuring it will be moist and juicy.
